Notched Straightedge

Makes neck work a breeze!

I have not had a chance to use this straight edge yet, but was already impressed at how heavy duty it was (1/8" thick.) I am sure it will hold up well, and see many years of shop use.

interesting way to see neck relief

I have been doing guitar setups for years without this tool. Now that I have it, I don't wanna work without it anymore. I use it everyday to check the neck on guitars and for setups. No more guessing, no more looking along the neck and still not being sure.

I finally broke down and bought one of these. I'm working on a problematic bass neck so I started with that one. I love it. The one for guitar is on my short list. It really does take all the guess work out of reading a neck and gives me a clear picture of what I'm working with. This thing is a good chunk of metal that will last a lifetime. BTW, the difference between 3.25mm and 3.56mm is roughly .012" (which is about 3 pieces of printer paper). That's well within the tolerances most manufacturers work with, especially on a non critical dimension, and the "thickness lie" mentioned is a non issue.

Disappointed about the “thickness lie”

Straight edge really works well for pinpointing problem areas on a neck. There's always the "sight the neck" technique, but this really allows the user to see where the problem(s) are. The edges are sharp so be careful when using around instruments.

Having these straight edges really gives me peace of mind. I don't have to worry about if I'm leveling frets on a flat neck or not or if my set is accurate. I use these tools frequently.

Very smooth surface, edges are very sharp,
good weight and thickness.

Must have this tool even you're guitar player.
to know your own instrument, to great play.

This is valuable tool.

Great quality tool to add to the tool box. Makes fret work and set up easy.
