When to choose it

Choose the inch version when your setup record uses thousandths of an inch or another inch reading documented on this card. You can compare string height at the same fret without converting the measurements each time.

Use the reference points in the instrument instructions. This card can also help with saddle, nut and pickup checks, but each task uses its own measuring position and procedure.
