Dual Notched Straigth Edge Ruler 25.5" and 24.75"

Overview of the Dual notched 25.5" and 24.75" ruler

This laser-cut, stainless steel, notched ruler is a vital measuring tool in the guitar builder's and repairer's workshop, as well as in the guitarist's studio to keep the condition of his instrument always in tune.

The ruler features the two most popular scale length options in the electric guitar world (the scale of an instrument is the distance between the bridge and the nut, which consequently determines the location of the frets): On the one side we have 25.5 inches scale, wich is typical of the most iconic models of brands such as Fender, Squier, Ibanez, Jackson, among many others. On the other side we have the option for guitars with 24.75 inches scale, present in most Gibson and Epiphone models such as the Les Paul or the SG.

What is the use of the notched ruler?

The notched ruler is used to check the straightness of the guitar neck by taking the surface of the fingerboard as a reference. This is possible thanks to the notches that prevent the ruler from resting on the frets, allowing the musician or luthier to determine if it is necessary to make an adjustment on the truss rod of the instrument to correct its curvature.
