I know plate locations varied, etc., but I'm ignorant as to how much variation there was over the years with string height, etc. Anyone have a clue where I should head?? I measured a 20 year old L, but don't know if that is in the ballpark (seems low). >> If you assume that the string heights will be 55 mm above the hammerflange pin for the bass and 47 mm above the pin for the treble bridge, you will be in the ball park, (at least, enough for any action work you want to do except boring the hammers, themselves).
