Good morning. First time poster. With what I assume is Geometry related.
Because I think of it kind of like a triangle...
I have a guitar that needs some adjustment. Because I assume that most of you are not guitar experts, the same as I am not a math expert, I will try to keep 'industry' jargon to a minimum. I hope this doesn't confuse anyone that DOES know about guitars, lol.
What we are dealing with is an area that is 25.5" in length.
1. The string height is 1/16" at one end (Point A). I believe that this will be called a constant, not a variable.
2. The string height is 1/4" at Point B, which is 19.125 inches from Point A.
3. Obviously, Point C will be the other end at 25.5" from Point A.
*I need to raise the unknown height of Point C by 3/8".
*I would like the string height to be 1/16" at Point B.
I accomplish this by placing a "shim" between the neck and the body. This will raise the neck (Point A to Point B). The shim will be placed from approximately the 15-19" range.
The question is:
How thick does this shim need to be?
