Ralf already answered this question in my previous thread on bridge height. I read back through and saw where it was detailed! Sensory overload? Or age?.......
Thank you again @Guildedagain

I like mine a tad lower, but it's a general rule to get you in the ball park of your personal preference."

Thank you. I am enjoying attempting to set up my own guitars. The Guildsby definitely throws a added dimension into the mix! I was a Engineer by trade, but always relied on paying someone else to do preliminary setups to a new instrument. That way I felt as if I had a good, educated starting point to future maintenance. And I probably over think these things. So the discussions on here give me confidence. Thank you!
