Guitar Set Up DVDs

Can anyone recommend a DVD for guitar repair/set-ups? I have performed minor truss rod adjustments, bridge adjustments, pickup replacements, etc. myself and I'm fairly adept with tools. I also own the Dan Erlewine books. But nothing like someone explaining something "live."

I've seen Dan's DVDs. Are they the best out there?

At $60 for a set up, it can obviously get costly to have periodic set-ups done.

Thanks!

That's the one I was referring to. Worthwhile?

I like the electric set-up vids by Erlewine. Now the *acoustic* ones are a bit hard to watch again, because there's so many performances throughout and I'm the type who can't stand to hear the same folky acoustic songs over and over. I wish I'd be able to play that sucker with those parts cut out !

A man named Tracy Longo has a set-up vid too, but I never saw it or even a review.
