If it is the truss rod causing it or the bridge is too high and it is a cheap guitar then I'd just do it myself. If the guitar is more expensive and you don't know what you're doing then you'd probably be better off not taking any chances and bringing it into a shop. If the nut is improperly cut and that's what's causing it then you should take it in to a shop because that's hard to fix Adrian
