A revolution in guitar setup!

Nut Slotting Gauge

Here's a device that will revolutionize the way you set up a guitar. The Nut Slotting Gauge quickly and precisely measures the heights of the strings over the first fret, so you can file nut slot depths more accurately than ever before. That means easier, more consistent playability, that you can custom-tailor to individual instruments and playing styles. No more guesswork or "eyeballing" the string heights, and no more searching for elusive combinations of feeler gauges.

NEW! Now for bass, by popular request!

At last! A precision tool for establishing string heights!


The Nut Slotting Gauge was designed by Don MacRostie here in our R & D shop. It features an easy to read dial indicator with adjustable zero point, and it's super accurate to .001". The machined brass base fits over the strings to rest on the fingerboard, and it works with most acoustic and electric guitars, mandolins and banjos. A larger brass base is machined to fit bass string spacings. Instructions are included.

The Nut Slotting Gauge is included in this money-saving set:

I had to write to congratulate you on the nut gauge that you designed. It's a fantastic tool! No more guessing, sorta, kinda, string heights. I finally know for sure where things are at. Man, you've really hit it out of the park with this one. I've been telling anybody who'll listen about this thing.
