Hi Gecko Good questions. Easy to answer . 1) Does not exist. Depends on the bridge height. I like my guitars to have a 7mm high bridge and 1,5mm saddle above the bridge. 2) I use 2 of Stew macs fretwire One which is a bit more than 1mm high and another one which is a little higher. 3) 6th string: 3mm and 1st string 2,5mm. I can go lower if the player wants it, but this is a good standard setup, where you wont get much buzzing if you know how to control a flamenco guitar.

Take it easy. A 6mm bridge and a 2,5mm will work very well as well. A tip. When I put a long straight edge on the top of the fingerboard before fretting (The straightedge goes all the way down to the bridge, I want to have around 2mm between the straightedge and the soundboard. This give me the angle I want on my guitars and the stringheight above the soundboard that I like. (Some 8mm)
