This neck rest / neck caul is available in many different lengths. Please contact us if the size you require is not listed.
This is a simple design of neck rest consisting of a "V" shape cork surface attached to a block made from RedWood Pine
The back of the neck sits in a stable position in the V and the cork provides a good surface that will not scratch the guitar and not let it slip. I have also put a layer of cork across the base of the rest, so it does not slip on the surface it rests on.
The rest takes care of the supporting interface to the guitar neck - the height it supports the back of the neck is about 40mm. further packing (simple sheet wood) to get the height to match a particular guitar may be needed.
As a guide
1) the 200mm, 240mm and 300mm sizes are suitable for standard sized guitars;
2) the 75mm and 150mm sizes can be used as smaller guitar OR as head support on standard guitars;
3) the larger 370mm and 440mm are suitable for bass guitars.

These cutters are a high quality large end cutter that has been precision ground by us for use as a fret cutter. The design of the cutting edge has been optimised for withstanding harder fret materials such as stainless steel as well as the more common nickel alloy. The jaws of these cutters are Chrome Vanadium which is more than adequate material to cut stainless steel frets. The force required is best achieved by taking full advantage of the 8 inch long handles and squeezing the jaws shut at the very ends of the handles.
Many cutter brands have been tried and tested and these offer the properties of
1) Made from very hard tool steel;
2) 8" long handles with comfortable rubber grips;
3) Able to cut the hardest fret wire including stainless steel frets;
4) Hardened and Tempered Tool Steel.

Our precision grinding of the cutting ends allows
1) The cutters to be used very close to the fretboard. This minimises the amount of fret left that has to be filed
2) The point at which the cut is going to occur to be visible before committing to the cut
