GUITAR NOTCHED EDGE & PRECISION STRAIGHT EDGE - Baritone & Bass Versions
*REDUCED - 25% OFF*
These items are reduced due to the inclusion of 2 redundant holes (adjacent to 4th notch). This is a manufacturing oversight and does not affect the accuracy or function of the tool.
OPTIONS
1) 27" to 30" - 685mm to 762mm - With 450mm long straight edge.
2) 30" to 34" - 762mm to 864mm - With 500mm long straight edge.
MULTIPLE SCALES:
The design of our 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 across the ranges specified.
The straight edges are machined & polished in house using specialised tooling and accuracy is checked on a calibrated (grade 000) precision granite inspection table.
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.
ADDITIONAL FEATURE:
1) Precision Straight Edge - length as specified. For precision tasks including checking fret levels.2) Removeable Steady - This prevents the tool from toppling over, allowing it to remain positioned on the neck during setup and adjustments. Free-standing use provides easy observation of changes to neck when adjusting the truss rod. (The steady can be used with or without strings fitted).
