Developed here at Stewart-MacDonald by Dan Erlewine and Don MacRostie, 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. The string height markers are graduated from .010" to .140" on the inch model, and from 0.25mm to 3.50mm on the metric version.
The back of the gauge has a time-saving fractional/decimal/metric conversion chart.
The String Action Gauge is made of durable stainless steel with precision-etched markings, and fits right in your pocket.
Tip: You can use the gauge to set router depth, instead of a shop ruler. It sits solidly on your router base, with the scale right where you need it.

 | Measuring in thousandths is great. No more 'three-and-a-half-64ths' or '3/32 plus one of those little lines.' This gauge measures in ways that regular rulers can't. | | | Dan Erlewine

| It's amazing! I use it every day for everything — I'd be lost without it! I used a six-inch scale for the past twelve or thirteen years, but now I don't use that much anymore. | | | John LeVan

| I just received my String Action Gauge yesterday. I had no idea just what a difference a tool like this would make. It’s made fast guitars even faster. It has paid for itself in the first day already. Thanks a million for developing this little wonder! | | | Bill Jehle
