So I just got an '87 PRS Custom, and am attempting to do my own setup as per the PRS website. With respect to truss rod, intonation, and action, I'm wondering if there is a particular order in which to make all three adjustments. I realize that changing one parameter will change the other two, but right now it seems like I'm going back and forth chasing my tail, so to speak.

I try to get the truss rod (relief) and action set first. Then, I worry about the intonation...
