I worked up a diagram on the effect of fretboard thickness, fret size, and neck angle on saddle height. In this "simple" concert scale diagram, maintaining a constant action height of .09", you can see the effect that a thicker fretboard has on the height of the saddle. As well as the effect that larger frets has on the saddle height! And of course, neck angle has an extreme effect on the saddle. Keep in mind this is a diagram of a simple build with a totally flat top. Other factors such as top radius have additional effect.
Anyway, this has been on my mind and I thought it would be fun to share this with you all and discuss.
I'd like to attach a pdf to be able to zoom in on the parts, if anyone knows a way to link to one, please let me know.
