Right here, on this bottom line, we have 10 to 140 thousands. We have a whole bunch of these hanging around the shop because of all the many different ways you can measure and how accurate they are.
So, the way we like to measure these is with the StewMac String Action Gauge. Down here at the first fret, we measure within thousands of an inch. So, that's why we want to use this 6” Shop Ruler, or something similar. Right here, we're getting about 9/64ths and that's pretty accurate. This side, we measure 32nds and 64ths.įor example, we're going to measure our pull pieces on our treble pickup. On this side, we measure in 16ths of an inch. This ruler’s measurement increments start flush with the edge and the measurement increments are really small and really accurate. What we like to use is the 6” StewMac Shop Ruler. The measurements are way too coarse for what we're trying to do and your hook is going to get in the way. Also, you don't want to use a regular tape measure. So, you can't get flush to the object to measure height or length and have accurate measurements. There's a little bit of a gap right here before you start measuring. The measurement increments don't start flush at the end. These are the kind of rulers you would use in school. We’ve got a couple rulers here that just aren't going to cut it. The measurements we're going to be doing are within 1/8 of an inch so we're going to need a really accurate ruler.
Another great thing is to check your pickup heights, too. With setup, we're talking about action or how high the strings are over the frets, the straightness of the neck, and whether your saddles follow the radius of your fingerboard. Today we're only talking about how to measure your guitar setup.
