It surprises me how many professional musicians don't know anything about setups / repair

Obviously nothing wrong with it at all, but I've met so many who just blindly take it to the tech and let them work their magic. Initially I assumed it was a very important step along the way, but most I've talked to know very little. I know it's a different field than playing, but its saved me so much money on top of just understanding how everything works.

It was just surprising to me that's all - But it's very well worth it. Stopping when fret work comes up is very understandable though. But all of those and especially setting up a Floyd Rose basic soldering has saved me thousands over the years.
