I recently bought an American Telecaster, and I'm seeing conflicting specs for string height. On the Fender site, I've seen 5/64" (+/- 1/64") for strings 1-4; 3/32" (+/- 1/64") for strings 5-6 at the 17th fret stated in the "Fender Guitars and Basses 2003.pdf" document, but I've also seen 4/64" bass side, 4/64" treble side at the 17th fret stated in the "Telecaster Setup Guide" online document. Does anyone know what the actual specs are?

Tom,
I recently bought a new 2009 HWY 1 Tele. In the owners manual it says Bass side 5/64" on the Treble side 4/64" Follow this and you should be good to go.

Thanks airbornestrat. I'm assuming the manual stated these specs refer to measurements at the 17th fret?

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
