Measureing String/bridge gap

[Ric Brekne]

Grin......

>/ I think the feeler gage check is only going to be effective if there is a

This is the only case that counts, isn't it? If the string is in 
contact with the cap anywhere, it is still on the cap and not up the 
pins.


?????????????

Well.. I dont know about anyone else... but I find strings not in 
contact with the front and back edge of the bridge whilst still in 
contact with the center as
a matter of routine. Not in contact with the edge means up the pins one 
way or the other, positive or negative bearing at these points.
