Four-radius fingerboard gauge

Match string height to the fingerboard radius

Each side of the square is a concave arc: 7.25, 9.5, 12 and 16 inch radius. Sit it on the fingerboard to identify the radius, then under the strings to set the saddle heights to the same curve, so every string has the same action.
