Chibson LP build wraparound bridge

HELP

Hey everyone,

I recently purchased a chibson LP on ebay with the intentions of learning how to do things to it.

So far I have successfully swapped out the POTS, the pickups, tuners, did some minor fret work (polishing, and truss rod adjustment) etc.

I am now at the point where she is strung up and I am attempting to set intonation and do a setup (which ive never done before)

My question is : this guitar has a wraparound bridge, right now the action is pretty low, i know how to adjust it but I am not sure how to set the angle of the bridge, or in what order basically do i do ther setup?

Do I set the action first? Do I set the angle first? I am kinda confused and watching YT vids isnt really helping right now.

Any advise on how to do a professional setup would be MUCH appreciated - thank you all!
