Hotrock Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Alright fellow guitar junkies. While spending one of those sleepless nights trying to solve the little problems which will arise in my (ahem) revolutionery guitar and being the astute mechanical engineer that I am, I've been wondering about a tool that I may need. I've invented a centreline marker that I can run down the fretboard/neck from the nut after it is shaped, and mark the centre line aswell, as the path of all the strings. I was wondering if there was a tool that already does this or if anyone else can see the use for it? It will be very handy for a straight through neck as it will mark down past the bridge. So what do you lot think, useful? or should I make the missus give me more sex so I can sleep at night instead of thinking about tools (no sex and tool jokes, thank you). Quote

daveq Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 There is a tool that you can use on circular or rectangular pieces to find the center. I think it would work on a shaped finger board - I'll try it tonight and let you know. It's the plastic thinger that you draw a line with, flip it over and draw another line. The intersection of the lines is the center point. I don't know how else to describe it. Quote
