This pocket-size stainless steel rule is ideal for accurate setup adjustments on any stringed instrument. The gauge features a progressive string height scale: simply slide it across the frets and read the measurement under the string. It's faster to use than any ruler, and stays parallel to the fingerboard - much easier than trying to hold a ruler perpendicular to a rounded fret.
This gauge is not made from as heavy-duty stainless steel as the original USA-made version which we also sell, but has clear and accurate markings, and is available at a good price.
The string height markers are graduated from .010" to .140".
The back of the gauge has a time-saving fractional/decimal/metric conversion chart.
As well as setting/checking string height, you can use it to measure:
- Bridge saddle height
- Saddle slot depth
- Fret slot depth (unbound fingerboards)
- Nut height
- Pickup polepiece height
You can also use it to set up router cutters accurately.
