strings height   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #154 of 1080 |
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and I want to ask a question about strings
height.
I have a classical guitar and I think the strings are too high.
What should be consider a normal height above the 12th fret and above
the first fret ?
I refreted my guitar (something one shoud never do without some prior
experience) and now the frets are not at the same height; so I had to
increase the height in the brige.
I will post in the future another question about filing and crouwning
the frets.
thanks in advance
Antonio

Hi Greg, Perhaps I didn't explain myself well(my English is very poor); what I meant was: how far can you go when you level the frets. As a rule, If you place...
