Notched Straightedge

Now available for bass!
Developed in our shop, the notched straightedge has become a standard for evaluating fretboards. The notches fit right over the frets so you can check the straightness of the fretboard itself, without the interference of worn or badly-seated frets.

	December 18, 2008 I ordered the Notched Straightedge. When it arrived I compared it to my StewMac 24" straightedge and another standard I keep safe. Both of your edges were dead on and I was able to get perfect relief (.007 to .010)...as always, you folks deliver a fine product with extra fine service.

	I couldn't adjust necks, or do accurate fretwork without the notched straightedge.

Not just another Straightedge

This tool is a time saver and time is money in the repair biz... I found the notched Straightedge so usually in helping to speed up set ups as well as fret leveling and fret board repair. The first day I had this tool in the shop it more the doubled the amount I had invested in it. This tool is a must have if your serious about proper guitar repair.
