Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I don't think my ruler goes to thousandths

Feeler gauges are awesome for this, but you can use a thin pick or a credit card. It should be right about the same distance as a credit card is wide. It should be smaller than that distance - as it should hold the them in place. There should be enough friction to hold a thin pick without it falling out. Something like a .72 mm pick or maybe even a .50 mm pick depending on your personal preferences.

I do have spark plug gap feelers

Hmm... Those might actually work. 5 thousandths is a goal you can shoot for. I know what to expect so I just tap the strings and make sure there's some clearance, without too much of it.

Oh, hold your guitar like you're playing it - and it should hold 'em in place.

I thought that'd be obvious, but I figured I'd better make sure.
