GUITAR NOTCHED EDGE & PRECISION STRAIGHT EDGE 24"-27" & 630-685mm inclusive
MULTIPLE SCALES CATERED FOR:-
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 within 24.5" to 27" range can also be checked.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
1) PRECISION STRAIGHT EDGE - 400mm Long. For precision tasks including checking fret levels.
2) 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).
TOOL DESIGN
The design of our tool is based on checking the length of the fretboard that is capable of being deflected. The highest frets are omitted as these are past the neck join and won't be affected by truss rod adjustment. 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 range specified.
MANUFACTURING
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.
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 at the 12th notch.
For 24" scale the dots are placed at the 11th fret.
For 24.5"- 25.5" range, the dots are positioned at the 12th fret.
For longer scales the dots are placed at the 13th fret.
NOTE - 24" SCALE GUITARS WITH ZERO FRET
For this scale the tool bridges over the nut (see repositioning below) and is not suitable for 24" scale guitars that feature a zero fret due to the extended nut position on the instrument. If in doubt, please contact us with your requirement so that we can confirm suitability of the tool.
UNSURE OF SUITABILITY?
Please contact us and we will be happy to advise suitability of the tool for your particular scale.
