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 a coin on the fingerboard near a fret, you should find one
that is in level with the fret (same height). Then you measure the
coins height with a micrometer and you have the frets height (i live
in Europe so I use euros).What is the minimum acceptable when
leveling before it is too late.
Thank you
Regards
Antonio
