Humbucker Mounting Rings sizing - Strat

[User1989]

Hey all,

Is 3/16" too tall for a Warmoth Stratocaster bridge to function at low action properly?  I included one in my kit to the luthier and measured the pickup ring but forgot to measure the bridge on the body with the ring  :doh:

Probably going to go in tomorrow and snag it out the kit, I doubt he's gotten to it/that far by now.  Idk why I didn't just order this part from Warmoth... :doh:

3/16"? I can't imagine a bridge that short. I just measured one of my Strats with a Schaller bridge, which is probably as short as they get, and it puts the string height at very nearly 1/2" up from the deck. The saddles alone are 3/16" thick with no adjustment off the base plate, and you still have the base plate thickness. No way your bridge is only 3/16" tall. You're probably worried about nothing.
