MANUFACTURING

TOOL DESIGN

The design of our guitar notched edge tool is based on only checking the length of the fretboard that is capable of being deflected. The highest frets are omitted as these are past the heel/neck join and won't be affected by truss rod adjustment or string tension. This keeps the number of notches down to 18 and combined with the unique design of the notch spacing, allows the tool to be used for multiple scales within the ranges specified.

MULTIPLE SCALES CATERED FOR

Example Tool #1) The unique design of the notch spacing allows the tool to be used on the following popular guitar scales : 24", 24.5", 24.5625", 24.625", 24.75", 24.84", 24.9", 25.0", 25.34", 25.4", 25.5", 26", 26.25", 26.5", 27", 630mm, 635mm, 640mm, 645mm, 650mm, 660mm & 670mm.

MULTISCALE GUITARS

Multiscale guitars with bass and treble scales within range specified can also be checked.

ADDITIONAL FEATURE

ANTI-TIP - This prevents the tool from toppling over, allowing it to remain positioned on the neck during setup and adjustment & provides real time observation of changes to the guitar neck and relief. (The Anti-Tip can be used with or without strings fitted).

POSITIONING ON THE NECK

The positioning on the neck will vary depending on the scale of the instrument.

A double dot mark for position reference is provided.

The dots are nominally positioned at the 12th notch on the tool.

For shorter scales, the tool is used with the dots placed at the 11th fret on the guitar and for longer scales the dots are placed at the 13th fret.

NOTE - ZERO FRET GUITARS

For shorter scales the tool bridges over the nut and may not be suitable for guitars that feature a zero fret due to the extended nut position on the instrument. This applies to the smallest scale quoted on the relevant tool. If in doubt, please contact us with your requirement so that we can confirm suitability of the tool.
