Jim, In reality, the stringheight ove the soundboard near the bridge is a guide that helps, but what is interesting and important is the height above SB near the soundhole. Why? because thats where your thumb is placed in rasgueados and picado, and that´s where you do your capirote. Many guitars have a way to high accion there because of the SB and strings do not run parallel. 8 mm above SB near bridge can sometimes mean 10mm near soundhole, which in my opinion is way to much, because your thumb tends to glide underneath the 6th string, and the capirote tends to be violent, and it hurts doing it. The setup on my favorite guitar is: 1st above 12th fret: 2,5mm 6th above 12th fret: 2,8mm. Above SB near soundhole: 7,5mm. Above SB near bridge: 7mm. It´s difficult to adjust so fine, but it really makes a difference. Anders

I´d prefer to say that they are all within the distances where they should be. But... 3,5 mm fingerboard.... it´s very thin cheers Anders
