MULTIPLE SCALES THROUGH INNOVATIVE TOOL DESIGN
Our guitar notched edge tools are designed to assess the length of the fretboard that can be deflected. The highest frets are excluded, since these are past the neck heel, where the fretboard is unlikely to be affected by truss rod adjustments.
 
This approach minimises the number of notches required, and the notch spacing design enables the tool to be used for any guitar scale, that falls within the specified tool range.
 
PRECISION IN-HOUSE MANUFACTURE
The notched straight edges are machined in-house using specialised carbide tooling. The edges are finished with ultra fine grit abrasive over a precision surface table.

FEATURES:
1) NOTCHED STRAIGHT EDGE.
2) PRECISION STRAIGHT EDGE - (Baritone 450mm long, Short Bass 500mm long)). 
3) STEADY FOOT – Allows the tool to remain on the neck without tipping over and can be used whether or not strings are fitted.

POSITIONING ON THE NECK
The positioning of the tool on the guitar neck will depend on the scale of the instrument.
The largest notch is placed over the 1st or 2nd fret depending on the particular scale of the instrument.  The tool skips over the nut for the shortest scale - see note reference 'Guitars With Zero Fret' below.
 
Small double dot holes for position reference are provided. The tool is placed with the dots at the 11th fret for shorter scales 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 on the tool. If in doubt, please contact us with your requirement so that we can confirm suitability of the tool.
