I've been playing for a while and I can mostly spot a straight neck by my eyes. However, I like the idea of it being perfect. I got a straight edge, but not a notched one. I hear that it won't be perfect if the fret's are not perfect, however on most my guitars they are, due to having fretwork for low action.
Just wondering who uses a notched straight and who uses a regular straight edge? The notched ones seem to cost a good bit. I got mine for like 10 dollars at a hardware store. I tested how good my eye was, and it was pretty good, except for a minute bow in just a few guitars.
I still haven't been able to straighten the necks on my Gibsons, although they aren't bad. Because Gibson makes a special type of tool to straighten the truss rod. I was able to do my Taylor guitar which also requires a special tool, but I have a screwdriver, and with no bits in it, the socket happens to fit the Taylor perfectly.
