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 from stainless steel using specialised tooling. Accuracy is checked on a calibrated (grade 000) precision granite inspection table.
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.
