Music Nomad MN604 Precision Setup Gauge Set – 6 Piece

Check your guitar’s setup yourself – and make it play easier and sound better. The Music Nomad MN604 Precision Setup Gauge Set is a 6-piece kit of stainless-steel gauges for measuring neck relief, string action, fretboard radius and nut height. It is part of Music Nomad’s KEEP IT SIMPLE, SETUP (KISS) method, developed with master guitar tech Geoff Luttrell and other repair techs.

Why customers choose it

• No guesswork: the exact spec for electric, acoustic, classical or bass guitar is printed on each gauge.
• Neck relief made simple: the truss rod gauge has the three most common relief measurements (.006″, .008″, .010″), plus a Pick Capo to hold the strings hands-free.
• Readable action gauge: deep-etched white markings on a black finish, in inches, metric and 64ths.
• Fretboard radius: two radius gauges cover 7.25″, 9.5″, 10″, 12″, 14″, 15″, 16″ and 20″.
• Nut height: the three most common heights (.016″, .018″, .020″) plus .012″, .014″ and .022″ for lower action or a heavier pick attack.
• Clean and accurate: premium stainless steel with etched text – no oily residue like traditional feeler gauges.
