string height

[chilievans]

Just out of curiosity, What's the height of you're strings at the 12th fret?
Mine is a fraction higher than the thickness of a 1p piece

About the same for me

It varies but E string at 12th is:

Lakland Decade = 3/32"
Fender Precision = 5/32"
Takamine B10 = 7/32"

I don't know how many pennies that is.

A 1p is 1.65mm, which is 2/32" by my reckoning, so:

1 1/2 pennies, 2 1/2 pennies and 3 1/2 pennies.

Ah, but what if it's a pre-1992 penny which is only 1.52 mm thick?

Just hold it next to a recent penny, and feel bad for the Queen.

mine is just a fraction below [b]one florin[/b] plus [b]one shillling[/b]

If you own a custom-made exotic wood bass you can measure it with the thickness of £50 notes.

Thickness of a pound coin, approx 3mm.

But then, I am a bit heavy handed.
