The dimensions and specs have changed over time as the instruments were tweaked or changed over the years.
Steve Grom (Director of Manufacturing) has done much to standardize and refine our instruments.
The result is a line of instruments that are more consistent in quality, better component fit,
and better playability.
I checked a USA Legacy and a USA S-500 that I built yesterday against an '09 Tribute Comanche for the set up.
My set up is as follows:
At the 12th fret, the #1E should measure 4/64" from the top of the fret to the bottom of the string.
The #6E should measure 5/64"
The strings in between should taper up between these.
The G&L DF and DFS bridge set up should be about 2/16" from the body to the bottom of the bridge.
