Armando -> RE: Strings height at the bridge.How? (Nov. 12 2019 10:30:36)

Hi
There is a formula that should be used to get the setup right.
SH = FB + FH + (A * 2) - (N + D)
SH = string height at the bridge
FB = fretboard thickness
FH = fret height
A = string height at 12th fret
N = amount of neck deflection at the nut ie 2mm
D = dome
This pretty much nails it.
So it all depends on the variables.
A is known to be about 3mm at the 12 fret on Flamenco guitars.
N is 2mm on most flamenco guitars but it depends on the other variables, especially the amount of soundboard doming D
F is usually 5.5 to 6mm on most Flamencas
FH depends on the type of fretwire used
These are things blueprints can't really picture, but they are crucial.
Hope this helps
