Being able to measure your string height at the nut is a critical step in the setup process. MusicNomad’s precision Nut Height Gauge will help you do it quickly and accurately. The gauge comes equipped with the three most common nut height sizes (.016”, .018”, .020”) plus three additional sizes (.012”, .014”, .022”) to accommodate a desire for lower action or a heavier pick attack.

Instructions printed right on the handle makes it extremely easy to dial in your nut height. It’s perfect for electric, acoustic, classical and bass guitars, and features laser-etched markings that take the guesswork out of which gauge to use for each instrument. It’s made of premium stainless steel construction without the annoying, messy oil found on traditional feeler gauge sets.
