Make a Custom Scale Length Notched Straightedge | Homemade Guitar Tools

As I continue making progress on the Hayley Guitars SubTonic Bass Guitar build, I realized I didn't have a notched straightedge for the 32" scale length neck. After looking around online, I couldn't find anyone selling a notched straightedge in that scale length. Its time to make my own. I picked up a piece of 1/8" Aluminum flat stock from the hardware store. After marking out the fret locations, I used the table saw to cut notches for the frets. (Yes, you can cut aluminum with your table saw) After a little cleanup with a file, I now have a custom made notched straightedge for my guitar build. You can use this method to make any scale length you need. Its inexpensive and easy to do.
