Music Nomad MN601 Precision Nut Height Gauge

Dial in your nut height without guesswork. The Music Nomad MN601 Precision Nut Height Gauge measures the string height at the nut, a critical step in setup. It works for electric, acoustic, classical and bass guitars and is part of the KISS setup method.

Why customers choose it

• Right sizes: the 3 most common nut heights (.016″, .018″, .020″) plus .012″, .014″ and .022″.
• For your style: extra sizes cover a lower action or a heavier pick attack.
• Clean to use: smooth stainless steel without the oily film of traditional feeler gauges.
• Clear markings: sizes in inches and mm plus instrument type, laser etched so they do not rub off.
• Easy instructions: printed right on the handle.

Who it is for

Players setting up their own guitar or bass, techs and luthiers checking nut slots.
