LuthierSuppliers.com would like to announce the birth of its new jig...THE SIMPLE CENTERLINE FINDER!! Regularly $49 + $5 shipping, but now on Sale for only $44 + $5 shipping until September 20th, 2006.


This jig was inspired by the Center Line Finder jig created by Charles Fox of American School of Luthierie. We liked the idea so much, we decided to improve on the jig by giving this jig a complete overhaul. It now works with all thin and large necked instruments including acoustic guitars, archtops, electric guitars, bouzouki's, and classical guitars.

There are 2 main uses for this jig:

1. When attaching a neck to the body, it is necessary to determine if the neck aligns properly to the center line of the body. This usually involves fiddling with a straight edge clamped to the fretboard while trying to line it up with the centerline of the body. The Simple CenterLine Finder is much quicker than pulling out the straightedge and clamps. This jig takes less than 10 seconds to align everything with the center line!

2. When setting up the bridge before gluing, you must align the bridge with the center line of the body and neck. This also takes a long time for setup, but with The Simple CenterLine Finder you can have the bridge aligned in 10 seconds!

Dimensions: The jig is made of 1/4"(6.5mm) thick acrylic that is 2 3/8"(60mm) wide by 34" long. The swivel arms will fit a 2 3/4"(70mm) neck width to a 1"(25.5mm) neck width. The minimum neck length that it will fit is 12"(1ft).

When you order this jig you will also receive another jig for free! Go to this page to find out more:

Thanks all for your support over the last year, you are the best customers in the world!! Happy Building!
Tracy

Tracy,I got mine today! It is sweet! I LOVE the fact that the area that pushes against the side of the fretboard is round, and soft on lacqure!

Thanks Man!

Same here, looks great...I'll be ordering one asap. If it's anything like the bracemaker jig, it's great.

Hey Tracy,

I typically like to build my own jigs but have been long looking for an opportunity to reciprocate the support you have shown me in the past. Your two function jig looks wonderful and in my opinion well worth the money. Pay pal has been sent. Thanks for continueing to be innovative!!

Shane

Tracey I've seen a bunch of ideas/versions of this jig that I've been thinking of making. Yours makes it too irresistible not to purchase.

This jig looks like it will be handy for laying out/centering fretboard inlays as well.

This is definitely a must have. Very cool. Everytime I put an aluminum straightedge up there, I'm afraid it's going to ding something! I Paypaled you!...Thanks Tracy.
