Measuring the string height on your guitar without fancy tools! 

THANK YOU. I was getting sick of these people *all* whipping out the same, tiny, metal ruler.

Thank you nobody ever makes videos for cheap people

I never knew this, thank you for doing this vid. This advice is gonna be useful.

Thank you Steve Jobs

ohh man this actually works, you can lower you string height without any buzzing. thank you!

Thank you so much! I just bought a guitar that needs to be fixed up. I already repaired most of it but then noticed that the saddle is too low. I needed to know how high the strings should be so this was really helpful!

You’re an absolute legend mate. I feel like an absolute idiot for not thinking about the credit card stacks. Thank you!

Awesome tip ! Using the string height ruler is a pain in the ass so I’m gonna give this a shot. I just got an affinity Tele and I’m gonna throw a Wilkinson bridge , 72 fender deluxe humbucker, and a Tex mex bridge.

This is great advice and technique for the do-it-yourselfer, this is going to be very helpful👍

Nice little tip ! TY Brother ! 😎✌️🎶✝️💕

Thanks for the tip Sir

You can use picks with a known thickness.

Thanks for that, I really am made up what you just said 🙏👍👌

Thank you with the card ideas

Thanks a bunch👍🏼. I might use the quarter because all i have is a protractor, the semicircle ruler, i only have that but I can use a quarter.

You can use guitar picks as well. Tortex picks are nice because they're totally flat and have the thickness written right on them.

Thank you!

The credit cards helped thank you so much dude

thanks

Measure at which fret with the three gift cards.

Your a hero

Great technique, this will be extremely useful on my next set up.👍

I had a hunch this dude was Canadian. The proof was not the looney or twoney. It was the Timmy’s gift card.

Should it be same on the Nut area ?

Smart man.

In which fret on guitar ?

You can use picks o

At what fret for acoustic guitar ?

Can you show us the thickness of those coins (we don’t have those ones here We only have dollars and cents)

I have a fender strat and an older cheap rock jam one. Since I got my fender, I play it all the time. I picked up my old one and started playing it the other day and haven't picked it up since because the action is so high. I don't know if it was always that high. Do you know how I can reduce it?

which fret?

Here in the US we don’t have loonies we only have funny money

Loonies, twoonies? What do you use if you live in a real country?

I learned tricks from this and sincerely thank you.. But just gotta say... I got a laugh from learning that there's a coin in Canadia called the loony. Considering your PM (possibly child of Castro) is loony (soft for evil in this case) and that reminds me of our potential US president to be Kamala, also a true loony (also meaning evil in this case) and it just struck me funny.... Ain't the world grand? Good info in mad mad world. Thanks for it

Always new Canada had looney money

Do you fret at the 1st fret? I see people very often do the tap test that way.

What about the quarter

Those coins are similar to those of Mexico

Does this apply to six string electrics as well?

Fr man, thought you were Dave Matthews

What fret are you putting the credit cards on? Thanks

which fret? this is not explained in details.

At which fret are you measuring?

Is a capo needed?

You forgot to mention that with experience you can do it just by using your eye, at least I can.

This is a bass, not a guitar?

A cargo plane can easily pass under my bass strings. What do I do to solve this?

G'day Steve, can you help me ? I've got a nylon sting acoustic with a cutaway and have my Bstring flat by the twelfth fret. Since I've noticed that classical guitars have a saddle closer to parallel with the nut than steel string guitars, yet on those the B is set back compared to the others. What do you think has caused this issue and what do you suggest i do to fix this ? I have tried shortening the string a few 64ths but it seemed to get worse. When measuring i get the same distance (all other strings are very close). Could it be the nut ? How would i tell if it is ? Thanks for your time

Which fret do you do this on?

Not bad....good info. Now tell them ...EXACTLY what fret your gouching the coin under...its...kinda important

I have a EKO Ranger 6 and it look like there are screws on the bridge, can I adjust it like an electric guitar?

Will that measurement be done on the "21st Fret"?

Why can't we say 1/16

This tool only cost 25 cents!

Which fret no.??

At what fret?

Just use the metric system. Far easier to say 3mm.

What if live somewhere else?😅

By the looks of that romex wiring behind him im not taking no advice from this guy🤷🏼‍♂️

Ewwww flats

My string are close but are perfect in my opinion.

You trying to reach the top of the Empire State Building with that quarter??? I use a penny at the 12 the fret on the bass side and a dime at the 12th fret on the treble side. Hope that helps
