Feature Uses
Integrated Three-Sided Rocker
Locate high frets with the FretGuru's integrated three-sided rocker. Ultra-precision CNC-machined edges, diamond-honed and polished silky-smooth to protect your fret crowns from scratches. In the tight upper register, where the shortest edge spans four frets instead of three, you can identify the high fret by giving close attention to which fret is the pivot point.
Nut Slot Height / Depth Gauge
Quickly dial in your nut slot height or depth with the Innovative and exclusive thin corner design. The .0095" thickness allows the gauge to slip all the way to the bottom of even the narrowest high E nut slot, allowing you to quickly evaluate the current nut, or dial in the height of a new nut.
Pickup Height and Depth Gauge
Measuring pickup height, saddle height, and other setup dimensions easier than with conventional rulers. Its geometry provides improved clearance around the strings and fingerboard, allowing for quick and consistent measurements.
Fret Height and Wear Evaluation
Built-in fret-height references and wear gauges help you assess fret condition and determine whether leveling, dressing, or replacement may be necessary. This makes the FretGuru particularly valuable when evaluating used instruments or diagnosing playability concerns.
