Strings are on and action is measured

Strings are on and I didn't have to adjust the nut or the saddle heights!
I measured with a caliper the thickness of some business cards that I taped together to use to measure the bottom of the string to the top of the fret heights. Here's the measurements at the first fret:
  High E string .013 inch gap @ 1st Fret

Bass E string .017 inch gap @ 1st Fret

High E string .063 inch @ 12th Fret

Bass E String .074 inch @ 12th Fret
Used a guitar tuner to get the strings in tune and the guitar is now playable and no longer in the workshop!  Yes, it sounds great too when I pluck the strings.


End of Project
