Angled Neck Pocket Bridge Height

[nyarlathotep]

Would anyone out there with an angled neck pocket build be kind enough to measure how high off the body their strings are at the bridge? I'd like to do a build with an angled pocket but a strat-type hardtail bridge and want to figure out how tall of a bridge I'd need to do it.

Thanks!

Mine's about 14 mm on carved top Mooncaster.

what Strat bridge would need an angled pocket???

I just find the slight angle more comfortable but prefer a strat hardtaiL over a TOM.

Anyone with a flat top care to chime in?

I'd suggest the difference in neck angle is so minor as to be imperceptible while playing. I mean, it's only a couple/few degrees. Not like an LP, where you're not only compensating for a tall bridge but a carved top as well.

Good to know. I'll have to play my strat and SG more and really decide how important it is to me
