Once again another Crimson Guitars video.
Now that's a handy little trick, will definitely be trying that one.Quote:

The problem arose when I was sticking down binding. Because we have quite limited supplies in the little town where I live the only masking tape available was 15mm wide stuff, which isn't really ideal for sticking binding, especially round the horns where you really need to pinpoint the pressure.
I simply marked out a centre line on the tape then followed round the line with a nice deep cut with the Stanley knife.
It's a two for the price of one deal because not only do you get the correct thickness tape to work with, you also get twice the bang for your buck, if you're someone who likes to have all the tape cut to size and laid out before you start binding.
This got me thinking, and it's absolutely perfect for masking a fretboard for leveling too. I actually divided the 15mm tape into 3 for this job and it's perfect for masking the higher frets and makes a hugely tedious job soooo much quicker and easier.
If you live in a big city with heaps of hardware and specialty stores then this method is probably irrelevant but it's a great quick fix when you're in a bind (haha see what I did there)
Not so much a jig but a couple of videos to show how to deal with a twisted or bowed neck

I hope it works for you good luck.
Been wanting to do this for ages. Laser cut notched straight edge. A step up from the hacked up metal rule I have been using.

Scale lengths for both standard F type and G type. Works like a charm. Working on a bass version now.
that rule rock Pabs, I want one!
wow thats way cool Pabs, what would you charge to cut one for me please ?
Yes, very very cool.
I don't know. $15 + postage? I hate trying to put a price on stuff. Pm me on facebook if you want one.Quote:

glad to hear it Wokks, mine is on the way
Nice stuff Pabs!!! Maybe I should get one too hehehehehehe....
mine arrived today, great quality and spot on.
Craig is a pleasure to deal with.
Send him a PM Pest, you wont be disappointed
Yeah but right now I'm broke haha!
hey Pest a fret ruler is only handy if you build guitars, the Frankenpester must have a solid layer of cobwebs on it !
Good work Stan, they are cool hey. Can't wait to use mine next fret level.
Luckily Pabs mentioned there were 2 of his picks he cut in the parcel, I ripped it open so quickly to see the ruler I binned the wrapping but just retrieved the picks. They look awesome Pabs I'll road test later
Nice one Pabs :)
Might be getting you to knock up a few DB custom Bass scale ones for me in the very near future..
Yeah, 34 and35 inch scales would be the ticket!Quote:
