These are the same super-accurate, high quality steel setup tools that professional repair shops depend on.
The 18" Precision Straightedge is machined for fanatic accuracy to ±.0015" per foot. Use it to check neck relief and evaluate truss rod adjustments.
The String Action Gauge is the fastest way to check the height of strings, nuts, saddles and pickup polepieces. Designed for stringed instrument work, it's much faster to use than any ruler. NEW! Basic Setup Kit is now available with the Metric String Action Gauge.
Understring Radius Gauges let you match bridge saddle heights to the fretboard curvature. This accurately laser-cut stainless steel set includes 8 different fretboard radii.
Truss rod adjustment is an important part of guitar setup, too. Our Truss Rod Wrench Set has the tool you need.
