Default Maintenance and Repairs

Every guitarist who worrys about having to pay big bucks for a neck reset or setups should get one of these jigs and do it themselves. What other tools would come in handy for guitar setups and repairs?

Different people have different methods of work. It, like the notched straight edge, aren't tools I need or would use.

I like to "think outside the box" and love to have modern tools that make work easier and more accurate. I do not have this contraption yet but it is on my lengthy StewMac Wishlist. BTW, how many chords do you know?

I have this tool but barely use it, certainly not a purchase I would reocmmend, I need it for that occassional guitar that has a warped neck that needs to be repaired under warranty with minimum costs spent
