Steve, I was thinking one of their saws with a depth guage & a square as used with metal or wood.
I can't see how you can go wrong They only cost a few dollars for the square.

Thanks Steve. I looked on ebay and it looks like there are some similar ones out there and they're wanting about $20 - $25 for the two. Does that sound like a good deal? How do they sound....being a bass p/u on a CBG?
