I am building my #2 A style mandolin and have a question about the fretboard riser. #1 was an IV kit. I have to make my own riser and don't see any reference anywhere as to the height relative to the mandolin depth.
How tall should it be? My guess is that it should be tall enough to support the fretboard at the 5 degree neck angle.
I have made a riser that seems tall to me, but it gives me a fretboard angle that puts a straight edge right on top of the Cumberland bridge at its lowest point.
Any advice is appreciated.
