Setup Equipment

It wasn't me!

Equipment needed for setting up a guitar seems to differ somewhat from instructional to instructional. Could someone post a definitive list of everything necessary, and also where to acquire them, as some of the stuff seems kinda obscure.

Uh pliers and wirecutter, screwdrivers, allan keys, lint free cloth and polish, spanners for pot bolts. Cant think of anything else, DIY shop?

david
