Todd Thanks. Do you think that is a bit low, a bit high, or just right? I can argue all 3

I am close to gluing down the bridge and neck extension on my first guitar. I am stressing a little about my neck angle. Currently with the frets installed, with a straight edge on the fret board, I have a clearance from the top to the strait edge of 0.393 inches, Is that a good number? I plan on using a .350 inch tall bridge. Thanks, EddieLee |

I believe you are right on. Recommended is 0.15 to 0.06. Your 0.043 is right where you want to be. |

Aim for 12 to 14mm string height above the soundboard between strings 3 and 4 when all the dust has settled and you have the set-up as you want it. Remember that your top will likely pull up a bit as well as all the other things going on. |
