What does this mean?

I am sure 4/64 of an inch is not 0.0625 inch. It would be too low an action. So what does this 4/64 mean?

 

where did ya get dis??? send us da link.......................u r right it would b too low........................

 

That's exactly what it means. .0625 inches is 1.58mm Which is about right I would think

Note: It doesn't say there but action is usually measured at fret 12

 

^^u talking bout an electric or acoustic????????????

 

I am talking about electric. But how do I measure it? A scale? Or make a mark on a parer?

 

vernier scale I would imagine

 

And where do I measure it from the wooden or metal part of the fretboard?

 

Because when I set it at 4/64 from wood, the strings produce little sound. Maybe I need to lower my pups?

 

from the top of the fret to the bottom of the string, and unless you have V callipers don't bother, you're never going to be able to measure anywhere near that accurately. Don't you think you're obsessing over this a little?

 

^^my thoughts the same...just see if its comfortable man and play away.

 

:shock:

yazi you need to go by what you think is comfortable and not a website's definition of low. It's just that various actions are close to these numbers. It's not always going to be exactly 1/16"

 

hard hitters need higher action and thicker strings...thats all i know. Thats why im putting 10s on the slammer!

 

I am a 9 guy

 

ive used 9s for three years. But i just got some GHS 10s cus ill be dropping to C on the slammer

 

OOH, going metal, are we?

 

Bullet for my valentine to be specfic. Those guys only play on C....

 

Nice, do a cover of 'suffocating under Words'
