I just mounted a Hipshot hardtail bridge I bought on StewMac to my new Tele build (incl. a Tele neck). I read some threads arguing between .125 and .175 bridge heights. The hipshot website says:
.125" floor height is designed for perfect action on guitars with non angled, low profile necks.
.175" floor height is designed for perfect action on guitars with angled, raised necks or bridge pockets.
I assume I got the .125 version. But why would a tele neck fall into the .175 category? Am I missing something? And more importantly - what can I do now (other than buying a new bridge from Hipshot)?
