New Guitar setup

I'm buying a new electric guitar soon. I know I'm a fool for not buying used, but that is a different discussion. Anyway,as part of the purchase, the shop's luthier offers a free full set-up within 30 days of purchase. I don't even know what this service entails. What should I do, bring the guitar home, play it for a few weeks then take it in for a set up? Or, should he set it up before it leaves the shop? What should I look for or ask for?

He should set it up, initially, for you to play it. Fix any obvious issues from the factory, leftover material on the frets, tune the thing up to standard pitch, check intonation, etc.
But, a new guitar will settle (depending on wood, neck construction, just a whole range of things) and you'll likely need one or more follow up adjustments after a break-in period. That will depend on how much you play and the storage conditions.

Nope. Its nice to know what you're getting sometimes.
Getting it set up..what do you play? Metal, rock, country..etc?
