Re: The left thumbnail/suffering for our music
Question: Is there a "standard" gap between the griffbrett strings and the frets? Does this change as one progresses up from the first fret? How does one measure this gap? Can one use an automotive/machinist type "feeler" gauge?? Can this string/fret gap be modified, making the i...
