It might be dumb but I'm proud of myself. I did this to my off the rack Ibanez AZES40:

Installed graphite string trees
installed locking tuners
polished frets
moisturized fretboard
set pickup height
lowered the action
intonated
changed the strings (obviously)

The most under utilized of skills. Congrats.

Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's especially satisfying when you have the confidence to do work to your friends' guitars and have them be super happy afterward. Keep it up! Find videos on Youtube about nut height and truss rod adjustments. I'd say that's your next step. Stewmac.com has the tools you need. If your interest takes you further. :)

Sounds awesome, what kind of locking tuners did you go with?
