It does all the math for you: proportional slot spacing automatically compensates for string diameters, from treble to bass, so the thicker strings won't feel crowded to the player.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eThe problem is:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e if you space the strings equally, they don't feel equally spaced. The thicker bass strings seem crowded together. Each gap between strings has to be slightly different to feel right to the player. How do you calculate this? The String Spacing Rule takes care of it, for guitars, basses, mandolins, and banjos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eFast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The String Spacing Rule is slotted so you can quickly mark the string positions onto the nut. Use a scribe instead of a pencil, and it creates extremely accurate starter grooves for your nut slotting files.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eEasy to use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Mark the two outer string positions onto the nut. Slide the rule over the nut to find a set of slots that matches your two marks. Now just scribe or pencil the string positions onto the nut! No measuring, dividing or calculating—the rule does the math for you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eAccurate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The rule's slots are laser-cut in a continuous scale that wraps around both edges of the rule (our thanks to luthier Kevin Ryan for creating this tool). Proportional slot spacing subtly compensates for the diameters of the individual strings, from treble to bass, to give the right feel and playability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eNot just for nut slotting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e You can use the String Spacing Rule to notch Tune-o-matic bridge saddles, to lay out bridge pin holes, and when notching archtop guitar, banjo, mandolin and violin bridges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe String Spacing Rule is made of laser-etched flexible stainless steel that conforms to flat or arched surfaces.
