Using a curved ruler for neck binding involves employing a specialized tool to create a precise and contoured edge on the fingerboard of a stringed instrument, typically a guitar or bass. This technique is crucial for achieving a clean and professional-looking finish, ensuring proper string alignment and playability.
The curved ruler, also known as a radius gauge, conforms to the curvature of the fingerboard, allowing for accurate measurement and shaping of the binding material. Binding, typically made from wood or plastic, covers the exposed edges of the fingerboard, protecting it from wear and tear while enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
