    So, Ive seen some unusual 12th fret action polls here so, I thought Id start a new one.
    Just select the closest measurement for the height of your low E string at the 12th fret. Measurement is taken from the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the E string. Thanks

    How about some poll numbers in mm so we don't have to convert :)

    I don't know how many others use mm, but I find it much more convenient than inches. My string height gauge has a mm scale, and the numbers are easy to work with. I usually set the action at the 12th fret to 1.75mm for the E and A strings, and 1.5mm for the D and G.
