No playing skills are needed; you should be able to tune with an electronic tuner and be careful with a screwdriver and an Allen key. The electric lessons use Fender Stratocaster specs and parts (two-screw and six-screw tremolos, saddle grub screws, micro-tilt), so owners of other electrics get the method but should use their own maker's specs.
