Igloo's got a 7K beer coaster in his shop yet wanted to split hairs over what in the world a feeler gauge is?

C'mon fucker start the thread. Show me up, you say you can with no problem. it's all shit compared to what you know and have, lets go....

[Igosplut]

Funny how the coward fades from the view and the thread when challenged to put his money where his mouth is...

With his vast resources and intelligence he should show me up no problem......Except he runs away...

The wrench drawer is completely full.

i've seen that pic on another site. all i can say is...holy shit, dude. my "barely can put gas in a car" friends think i have a lot of tools, i should show 'em that pic.

From what, 'Gloo? I appreciate your genuine sharing of your slice of life on the board, but I never asked you to do so.

My own consistency is holding the line at my promise not to share pics of my junk, and if the details bore all my friends they're sure to bore anyone here as well.

He googled that pic? The SHAME Igloo! Liar, etc etc.. posting as his own etc etc probably doesnt own anything etc etc...

You tell me what blade gauges were intended for then.

I've already specified what to do with 'em in checking string distance off a fret, so... may you cunt unnerstand Engoolesha?

I have never known any repair guy who uses spark plug gap measuring guages to measure string height and fret clearance.
Here is the correct way to measure string height. I've been using this method myself for many years with great success.


Now, shut yer Cocksucker and post pics. of your gear or GTFO!

[GAR]

A quarter-inch deflection at the 14th fret? That's .250, or ten times the dimension we're talking about at first fret for clearance.

DullardDimmy, I don't think feeler gauges can help you the way they help us techs sort out height-adjust issues. Ask around cuz you seem to disbelieve everything i state not found on Google.

Igloo will tell you it's impossible to check for valve lash clearance without these, and in the last 20 years most factories including Fender Custom Shop spec the clearances with a gauge.

Without a gauge to tell you what's going on, guessing at what your clearance is, is equivalent to NOT knowing if you could or should keep filing nut slots, grinding beneath the locking nut ledge, or topping frets.. or basically pissing in the wind.

The way you use these in adjusting valve lashes on a smallblock Chevy is stick 'em inbetween the rocker tappet and valve end, then wrench the nut till it the gauge slips out easily. But with string clearances, you keep filing a slot until THAT slot will just touch the gauge, barely. You work on one string at a time, the others taped behind the fingerboard each string you do.

So you see, gauging your string height clearances is exactly the same principle yet different method in adjusting valve lash on a motor.

Of course, doing this with a Floyd block is both more difficult, but simpler because you only worry about the outer E strings. Once those clearances are set, the other four are already set by the arc of the clamp so you don't have to, nor can you do, anything further - you're done.

Blah, blah... Somehow I don't think a pissing match is what the OP meant by "help".

Want some info with out all the GARbabble? Try Dan Erlewine's book.

Guaranteed to be more informative - RELIABLE - and fun than Google.

Please tell them it includes a chapter on feeler gauges..

Fuck these ASSHOLES kid, take Fender's word for it if you take nobodys..

Stratocaster

STRATOCASTER® ADJUSTMENT AND CARE

http://www.fender.com/support/stratocaster.php

The following setup procedures and specifications are for your Stratocaster as equipped with the strings that come on the instrument as standard equipment from the factory. If you plan to change string gauges, you may need to adjust the specs somewhat to compensate for the changes in string sizes. Modifications of the specs may also be made (within limited parameters) to adjust for your individual playing style or application (i.e., how hard you pick, strum or fret the guitar).
Note: These are minimum specifications that are meant as a guide; they should not be construed as hard and fast rules, as we realize that every player's subjective requirements often differ.
TOOLS NEEDED

• Set of motherfuckin' automotive feeler gauges (.002-.025) (0.05–1 mm)
• 6" (150 mm) ruler (with 1/32" and 1/64" increments) (0.5 mm increments)
• Light machine oil (3-in-1, toy locomotive or gun oil)
• Phillips screwdriver
• Electronic tuner
• Wire cutters
• Peg winder
• Polish and cloth

Owned, checkmate, and thanks.

shove that in gar's ass

Wow, check that out! Woudja lookit THIS, you got owned too!

You said "shove that fact down on GAR" so you made yourself part of a severe owned on Jay handed down by yours truly.

Didja see it? Dude, I dooded it.. it's a done deal. Nobody on this board seems to argue a Custom Shop Factory setting, it's like a FATWAH.

It's like the FUCKING BIBLE. Fender makes the original bolton guitar, so they should know, and the first tool they specify in your to-have list of tools: is amotherfucking set of spark plug feeler gauges.

Did you root for the wrong team> yes, you did do such a thing. Now your once moistened cheeks of glee are frowning with a sadness such as you have not felt emotions before.

Ever been invited to a wake for the deceased, PetesBrother? This is an event sadder than that, my owning of you on this gauge issue mourns the loss of your poise, your dignity and burns your self-esteem to the ground.

Your lazy, overfed self-respect was once rolling on the grass with laughter over another persons' unfound put-down, now I've placed it six feet UNDER the grass.

How wrong you were sir. Next time you decide to join in on a dogpile, such as have joined my Ignore List, be sure you're rooting for the right team.

Notice how that DOESN'T say Spark plug gap gauge. And that's what I said in the first place. YOU were the one that said use spark plug gap tools..
