Best Guitar Neck Straight Edge Tool for Luthiers - Fits Fender/Gibson & Most Electric Guitars

The Neck Check Guitar Tools Machined Edge 6061 Aluminum Straightedge is essential for proper truss rod adjustment. This straightedge is precision-machined for a flatness of +/- .001" and can be used with 21, 22, or 24 fret necks, regardless of whether the strings are on or off.

One side of the straightedge is designed for 25.5" (Fender) scale guitars, while the other side is for 24.75" (Gibson) scale guitars. The straightedge is notched to the 22nd fret, providing clearance for more frets and the nut on the other end, covering the entire length of the neck.

You can also place the straightedge on top of the frets (off the cut notches) to use it as a standard straightedge to check fret wear and level. If you're unsure of the scale length of your guitar, you can measure from the edge of the nut (headstock) to the center of the 12th fret. The measurement should be approximately 12 3/4" (Fender) or 12 3/8" (Gibson) +/- 1/16".
