StewMac Professional Luthier’s Digital Caliper with Custom Jaw Notch for…
Our Luthier’s Digital Caliper is always one of our most popular items when we exhibit at luthiers conventions! It combines precision, ease of use, versatility and an attractive price, but its usefulness for fret work makes it special. Customized for fretwork! We added a custom jaw notch for accurately measuring fretwire crown height (the height above the fretboard). This is essential for comparing new wire to original wire. And thanks to a great idea by repairman Frank Ford, we’ve also added a notch on the depth gauge to measure fret height on the instrument—a real time saver. Measures fret height before AND after fret installation Accurate readouts in inches, millimeters, or fractions A must for all precision guitar work Handy for lots of other measuring jobs in the shop—nuts, saddles, tuners, tool setups and more—this caliper has long-life stainless steel jaws. Featuring LCD digital readouts in inches, millimeters or fractions, it measures outside, inside and depth dimensions up to 6″ (154mm), with super-accurate .0005″ (.01mm) resolution. The jaws can be locked at any position. CR2032 battery, operating instructions, and durable plastic storage case included.
ColorTone 50s Classic Colors Aerosol Guitar Lacquer, Aged Clear
Classic 1950s guitar colors in easy aerosols Genuine nitro guitar lacquer—no spray equipment needed! Fast-drying, durable finish resists water and alcohol. Colors based on aged original guitars Vintage finishes vary a lot. Two guitars sprayed together in 1960 look very different today, depending on where they’ve been all these years. And neither one looks like the day it left the factory. To get an authentic look for our finishes, Erick Coleman color-matched original guitars. Aged Clear lacquer replicates a 1964 Tele neck. It’s a clear coat aged with a tinge of brown (not yellow/amber). “I see a lot of vintage guitars in my shop. Most aerosols don’t really come close to looking like the colors they are intended to. These new ColorTone finishes nail the look of vintage beauties I’ve had on my bench.” —Erick Coleman, guitar repairman and StewMac tech advisor ColorTone® Classic Colors Aerosols can be sprayed over smooth unfinished wood; over sanded grain filler; over sanding sealer, and over ColorTone Stains. Add topcoats of ColorTone Clear Aerosol Guitar Lacquer for a deep hard gloss. A complete guitar typically requires 1 can of sealer, 1 can of color, and 4-6 cans of clear topcoat. For best results, use warm lacquer, not cold. Professionals spray warm lacquer to reduce spatters which require sanding. Warm your aerosol cans in a sink of warm tap water. 13-ounce aerosol cans.Classic 1950s guitar colors in easy aerosolsAchieve a vintage look straight out of the canGenuine Nitro guitar lacquer—no spray equipment needed!Fast-drying and resistant to alcohol and waterSupplied in 13-ounce spray can
