any guitar have her's own sound . Height is important, yes, deffinetly. easlier to play and make some virtuousies. I'm does this bit different. but principe the same. just listen how and were. if You like it - It's Yours. That's it.

what kind of Allen kit are you using metric or standard

[zetvetwerefrom]

@sly130000000000 it's depends how strong or not You'll push on strings, soryy. of course. can beat by hummer as well, but it's not a way. thats why : feel and listen. again feel

whare do you get a gauge to measure the string height?

[97warlock]

This helps out a LOT. But- Is there any way of gauging how high the strings should set along the first fret ? I installed a new Nut (r2) and am so low on the fat E that I get buzz, yet too High on the High E .....I used sandpaper as spacer (shim) under the nut . Should a Dime slide between the first fret & string? or should it be more like a Nickle thickness at the first fret? ANYONE that can answr this plz do,I need some advice here. really. Right Now, I only have a thin Pic clearence .

Any locking Ibanez trem I have ever seen has individual saddle adjustments, and I have seen shops charge as much as $100 to do this simple job.

how much does it cost do it at a shop?

[ViktorVR]

All rulers he uses he buy's at Stwart Mcdonad shop.

and they are expensive.

[mrskint55]

I suppose you can use a profile gauge and make your own template

i have an ibanez gio star and it doesn't have allen key adjustments on each saddle. is it different for floating tremolo bridges? and plus i want the strings down as low as possible to maybe like 3.2 for fast shredding and stuff.

i have a stratocaster i customed , i put a gibson sg signiture series neck on it.

problem is ive lowered saddles to the plate and its still not quite low enough.

what else can i do to lower it more at the bottom end of the neck, because the top part near the guitar nut is fine

[ihateskoolitsucks]

[zetvetwerefrom]

A string height gauge and a radius gauge both bought online in America from a company called Stewart-MacDonald, who are luthier suppliers.
