For acoustic flattop guitars

Neck Set Gauge

Finds the correct neck angle and bridge height without guesswork
Luthier Bryan Galloup suggested this unique device that brings precision to complicated neck setting. Our Neck Set Gauge, designed for attachment to our #3799 straightedge, helps determine the exact amount of wood to remove from the neck heel for proper neck angle and best playability. Accurate to .001", it can also indicate the best presaddle height for a new bridge. Instructions and a mathematical formula for neck heel trimming are included.
