OK, I’ve done most of this a time or two but I was getting ready to pretty aggressively go after the top of this fretboard for a second time today when suddenly I got the Fear, realized I was rushing in, and remembering that Elvis would not be impressed, I thought about until I realized what was wrong.
.
I’ve replaced the adjustable saddle, this work has to be perfect, and I was thinking I had a long ways to go yet - but that I only dropped the nut in carelessly, I’ve doing all my looks like that, and I have no idea if it’s the right height at that end.
.
What I’m doing is I put in two frets, no glue, the first and the twelfth, the twelfth is where you measure your action, and the first is the one that you set the height of the nut to only just clear, so now I have the nut very close to where it needs to be and so that’s my true angle to the saddle.
.
Now my action measurements at the twelfth will be better.
.
It still looks a little back bowed and wants another 32nd off measured at the twelfth.
.
I guess I’ll stop talking about letting it settle for a day - taking a break.
