Precision Setup Gauge 6 piece Set used for Guitar and Bass Setups by MusicNomad

Description
This 6-piece Music Nomad Precision Setup Gauge Set provides guitarists and bassists an all-in-one solution for performing a professional setup at home. After years of research and development with master guitar techs, Music Nomad designed this innovative kit to simplify even the most complex adjustments. Whether you play electric, acoustic, classical or bass guitar, the Precision Setup Gauge Set offers the exact measurements and specifications for your instrument.
Truss Rod Gauge Ensures Optimal Neck Relief
The included truss rod gauge provides three common relief measurements for setting the truss rod and ensuring the optimal neck bow. Simply find your instrument type among the clearly marked options, then adjust the truss rod nut using the measurement guide until the gauge fits snugly under the frets.
String Action and Nut Height Gauges Deliver Precision
Setting the string height and nut slots can make or break your guitar's playability. The Precision Setup Gauge Set includes a string action gauge and nut height gauge with measurements for most playing styles, from an ultralow action for speedy solos to a higher action for complex open chords. Adjust your bridge saddles and nut slots until the gauges slide under the strings with slight resistance.
Radius Gauges Match Your Fingerboard Perfectly
To properly set up your guitar, the fingerboard radius must be taken into account. The Precision Setup Gauge Set includes two radius gauges—one for vintage spec and one for modern spec fingerboards. Simply find which gauge matches your fingerboard radius, then use it as a guide when shaping and crowning the frets.
Detailed Instructions Provide Step-by-Step Guidance
The included 24-page instructional booklet provides a comprehensive, step-by-step setup procedure tailored to your specific instrument. Each gauge also features measurement markings and text printed directly on the tool, eliminating guesswork and ensuring an accurate setup the first time. All components store neatly in the included carrying case, allowing you to keep your Precision Setup Gauge Set protected and all pieces together in one place.

Setup a guitar or two yourself and you've more than paid for this set of tools. A very good easy to follow instruction book makes using the tools correctly and getting a good setup a breeze. Music Nomad stuff os always a good investment.

Picture doesn't show but mine came with the K. I. S. S. instruction booklet. It's a well thought out product. IMO it's a bit overpriced, but should save the DIYer some money in the long run.
