Setting Post Height on Modern Two-Post Tremolo Bridges

How much clearance should there be between the bottom of the bridge and the top of the guitar? In this video I'll walk you through my process to set it just right.

Thank you!!! I've been neglecting my posts and finally realized that's where I've been messing up and what a bonus to see you have an EBMM as I do too!!!!

Thank you for this video.
One of my Stratocasters is a Fender, and the other is an $85 Strat made on some Pacific island. I like them both. With the tremolo bars stored away, I have set up the bridge assemblies of both, locked down to the guitar body, primarily for tuning related stability. That seems to work for me. However, lately I've been listening to some guitar music with very tastfully done tremolo effects. OK, that did it for me and now, having just discovered this helpful video of yours, I'm going add a tremolo bar to one of these guitars. So you see, this all your fault! 😊
