Curious. What would be your typical measurements for 6th/1st action at the 12th fret when setting an Acoustic for double-handed tapping? |

FWIW, I did a complete refret on a Martin (Evo 43080 wire) out the door yesterday at 1.4/1.2 mm (just shy of 4/64th and 3/64ths) with Elixir nanoweb 47-10's. Relief was a bit more than my usual at around 0.012/0.008 bass/treble. Although it was intended for an owner who likes a low action, I noticed it "tapped" much better than my own beaters, so I just wondered about what others had found worked for them. |

Good to know. 4&3 is pretty low! I bet it was easy peasy to play. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
