JasonM -> Fretboard and setup (Mar. 20 2019 20:21:38)

Maestros, how much wiggle room do you leave for 12th fret action when deciding how much to taper your fretboard? With a straightedge, I’ll have 2.8mm at the 12th, and an 8mm saddle height ( 6 + 2mm). That’s with a 6mm fretboard tapered to 5mm, and 1mm fret height. I’m guessing the clearance at the 12th will increase when the bridge pulls up and the frets are leveled. And based on some forum searching, adding relief isn’t really necessary for a flamemco. When everything is settled, I like a low action (2.8mm) and might like to lower the saddle a bit into the 7-8mm range. thanks!
