When to choose it

Choose this set if you maintain several guitar scales and need two distinct notched patterns. Compare the stated scale list with the actual instrument, then check that the notches clear the frets before reading the board.

Each tool has a plain edge for a different reference surface. Keep the edge and span consistent when comparing your readings, and use a short rocker for a local fret check.
