Yardstick for Fretboard

Hey all, I'm curious, I was thinking of using a yardstick for a fretboard. I've seen Shane do this and others but I've never tried it. The yardstick I have isn't old and it's only 1 and 3/8 inch wide. Should I shave down my maple neck which is the standard 1 1/2 inches or would it work if I just center the yardstick on it? Just wondering if it would be comfortable to play.

  • for a 3  stringer  ? just  center  it ,   the end  strings  will  still   space  nicely across  the stick , and  you   may   find    its actually  easier  to   play  slide   ,  with   less  slide  clunk  on the  neck  as  that lil  step  gives  you some angle forgiveness .  

    • Thanks, yes it will be a 3 string! I see your point about playing slide. Cool!
