In the interest in contributing raw data to the very interesting discussion of string/bridge seating, I was wondering about the best way for me (us?) to measure the gap between strings and the bridge. If there is an indentation in the bridge cap that is less deep than the diameter of the string, how would a feeler gage detect the gap? Wouldn't it run into the side of the string and stop, yet there would be a 0.0xx inch gap under the string? If I wanted to use a dial indicator, how would I mount it to get an accurate pre and post seating measurement at the pin? What kind of tip would sit reliably on the string next to the pin? Is there a commercially available tip for the job, or would I (we?) have to make one? Would a magnetic indicator base sit reliably on adjacent strings on one or the other side of the bridge? Is there another way? I'll tinker around and figure this out (someday!), but was hoping one of my fellow listers had already hoed this row.
