Sure way to find the neck angle

Neck Set Gauge

Setting an acoustic guitar neck to the proper angle has never been easy. Trimming the right amount of wood from the neck heel has been mostly trial and error. Here's a great new solution from builder and repairman Bryan Galloup. Bryan does a lot of exacting neck resets for his customers, and this experience has led to a new use for a dial indicator to bring precision to the task.

The result is our new Neck Set Gauge. Attached to a straightedge, this tool helps you determine the exact amount of wood to remove from the neck heel for the correct neck angle. You'll get the best playability, whether you're doing a reset or building a new guitar.

Instructions
 
The Neck Set Gauge also indicates the best thickness for a new bridge before you add a saddle — even for a guitar that doesn't require a neck reset. It's easy to use: complete instructions are included.

  • Takes the guesswork out of setting a neck
  • Determines the correct pre-saddle bridge thickness for new flattop guitars, or for replacement bridges
