StewMac 4013 Long Scale Notched Straightedge
When to choose it
Choose this single tool when the instrument scale matches its documented long-scale notches. Check that the notches clear the frets before using the board surface as a reference.
Use the opposite plain edge for the corresponding longer contact check. If you also maintain shorter-scale guitars, compare the two-tool set rather than assuming this one edge covers both groups.
