For those of you who are using a scale for weighing various smaller components for guitar building (braces, bridges, etc.), can anyone recommend a good scale? OR give general tips for buying one? TIA, |

Here's what I use, an Ohaus 750-SO. It's not digital but it's accurate to 1/10th gram and never needs batteries. Attachment: IMG_2371 copy.jpg Joe |

If you are want a low cost option, Harbour Freight has a digital scale that has 1/10 gram resolution that is handy. Has a tare function and works nice for mixing epoxy at the right ratios, weighing bridges, etc. |

I went with a Polder Kitchen scale... it might be useful to be able to weigh a complete guitar (up to 3k). Thanks, guys! |
