Default Progress report on my ES-175 Clone

Well its almost done. Just have to do some setup (action and intonation) and install the pickguard. Next spring I'll put some top coats of lacquer and rub it out. (I have only an outdoor spray booth).
I installed Thomastic Enfield Jazz Swing 12 to 50 strings.
Can someone give me an idea how high the action should be. I know its a personal preference - some middle of the road measurements would be a good start.

Beautiful work! How many builds have you done?

Here's a link I found on string height.

I just checked the link to your website. WOW! Beautiful work! ... and you said I only built 3 guitars!
Seriously, I admire your level of craftsmanship.
