Asda part of the wallmart chain.

Upper fret drop off is quite common with higher end classical guitars. I do it to mine too, though it's so marginal you'd never know unless you went looking for it ).002" from 15th to 21/22nd gradient).

Compound radius isn't a problem to a notched rule. Thats one plus it does have over the notched beam. You can use it with the strings on the guitar. So you can follow the string path up the fretboard quite accurately.

It only loses points on looks as far as I'm concerned.

Nikinija I don't agree with you.

I check with a ruler name Starret ,usa made, and I check with Stew Mac straight edge.

With the Starret you can read lots of false mesures in the same place on the fretboard.
Sometimes the ruler said neck curve is what I look for, and some times it's too backbow.

Sorry but those ruler are too soft and not accurate, good for sketch but not accurate mesure.

Easy solution, use a better rule. Far better than stewmac's rip off and not impeded by being too thick, so you cant see what the frets are doing in the middle of the rules thickness.

Neither of mine bend, who says your lacquer or plane of rosewood is the same depth across the fretboard to .0015". I can promise you it's not, not that you need that ridiculous degree of accuracy anyway.

You can disagee all you like, it doesn't stop me being right. (JK)

Have any of you ever heard of a "Plek."

It's a process that my lutier, Phil Jacoby uses to messure and set up necks. If I'm not mistaken he even keeps all the data.

I read some information about that computer machine one or two years ago.
I just know that it exist but I don't know if the job is good.
I think Gibson use for some guitars
