Description: MUST READ BEFORE PURCHASE Since a few have overlooked the specified shipping details, I'm stating it here too. I have a 10 business day handling time for all items I have listed. Some will ship sooner but they will be shipped within the 10 business day time frame. It's been this way for three years. I have little room for inventory so I need time to make each one as they are ordered. Ebay gives me a date in which to ship so I will be shipping items in the order they come in. One of the most nerve racking things I've dealt with while making guitar necks was drilling the dot markers in a straight line. No matter how careful I was laying out the centerline, or marking with X's, or using a pre-drilled template, sometimes there was an occasional stray dot that looked out of place. It was even worse stringing up a new neck to find the dots not evenly spaced between the D&G strings. So, with a little trial and error, I came up with this. It's based on a simple centerline tool but modified for guitar necks with tapered stock. With your 1/4" forstner bit and this tool, correctly positioned, you can easily and accurately drill straight dot markers every time. All you have to do is mark the location between the frets and it will be centered within .003" at the first dot to -.003" at the last. Finger pull with the GBD logo will always have to point towards the nut. Twelfth fret dots will need to be drilled as shown on the bass side hole with the GBD logo pointing to the heel. Side dot is drilled for 3/32" large dots. These will need to be drilled before radiusing and back carving. With standard 1/4" fingerboard thickness and 3/4" neck stock, this hole is positioned to drill centered at the glue joint. The post on the tool will need to be moved to the next threaded hole to drill the side dots. I can modify this tool for 1/8" dot markers and 1/16" side dots within the fingerboard if needed. Works for standard necks up 2 1/4" at the heel. Wood template shown not included.Recommended for new builds
