Two Essential Setup Tools

The Music Nomad MN614 Combo Bundle includes the two most used gauges in the setup process: the Truss Rod Neck Relief Gauge and the String Action Gauge. Whether you’re adjusting an electric, acoustic, classical, or bass guitar, these tools simplify precise measurements and improve your instrument’s playability and tone. This combo is ideal for beginners and seasoned techs alike. As part of MusicNomad’s KEEP IT SIMPLE, SETUP (KISS)™ system, it helps you follow step-by-step setup instructions to make your guitar sound and feel like a pro setup—right at home or in the studio.

Precision String Action Gauge

Measuring string action is a crucial part of achieving a smooth and playable instrument. The Precision String Action Gauge features a matte black finish with deep etched white markings for ultimate readability and precision. You can measure in inches, metric, or 64ths to suit your preference. A handy pickup height ruler on the same gauge helps you fine-tune your pickup levels for optimal output and tone. It also includes a reference chart for proper string height by instrument type. Built from premium stainless steel, this gauge offers long-term durability and professional-grade performance.

Truss Rod Gauge Tool

Neck relief directly affects string action and overall comfort. The Truss Rod Gauge includes the three most commonly used relief measurements (.006”, .008”, .010”) ideal for electric, acoustic, classical, and bass guitars. Built from smooth, stainless steel, the tool has easy-to-read laser-etched sizes and includes printed instructions directly on the tool—removing all guesswork. Also included is MusicNomad’s innovative Pick Capo, which assists in checking neck relief without needing additional accessories. This simple and precise tool is essential for identifying and dialing in the right neck curvature, a key step in any professional setup.
