I have been setting up my guitars for years now, and I have a cheaper set of feeler gauges that I always use, and they’re fine, but I find this gauge set to be of high quality. The pick capo it comes with is surprisingly useful, does what it’s supposed to. Of note, the MN method states to hold down the 12th fret (with pick capo at the first fret) while sliding the gauge under the 6th fret. When watching the MN how-to video, I noticed the tech was holding down the 12th fret relative to capo, so technically the 13th fret, and the gauge went under the 6th fret relative to capo, so technically the 7th fret. This is important to note as it will give you a more accurate reading. Anyways, nice gauge set and I’m pleased with my purchase.

It's a really simple to use tool. After breaking a truss rod years ago, I've been reluctant to make any adjustments to my guitars but this simple tool made things very simple. I adjusted both my acoustics with no issue. I'd recommend this simple tool.

高級ギターでも、有名ルシアー製でも、ギターは、数年でネックが変形する。ある程度の変形を見越して、ナットもサドルも、高くなっており、弦高が上がるだけでなく、不要な倍音が多くなり、インハーモニクスも増す。自分でフレットを抜き、指板面を直線にして、正しくフレットを打ち込めば（フレットの打ち直しでは、フレットが浮く事が多い）、ナットの溝を深くして、第一フレットの高さに近づけられる。この作業で、絶対値が欲しい時、必須。一般的な作業なら、不要。きちんと指標を持ち、正確に直すと、音ではなく、演奏性が劇的に良くなる。作業時間がかかるので、リフレットに出さず、自分で、時間をかけて正確にしあげられるなら、持っておくべき物の一つ。

I thought very highly of the Guitar String Action Gauge and hoped I would be happy with this feeler gauge.I almost think I paid as much for the packaging as for the measuring tool. This one is diminutive.I checked the accuracy of each of the thickness gauges with a vernier caliper. I got .011, .008 +, and .007. Just by sliding my thumb and first finger along two of the gauges, I could feel a slight ridge on the end, where the gauge would have been cut from sheet stock. I wound up lightly honing the end to flatten it and verified the thickness. Much better.It is quite difficult to slide the gauge under the string without bumping the string, a slightly different tilt towards the saddle or nut, or not going onto the fret at the same radius as the fingerboard could affect your reading. Personally, I would prefer a gauge 1/3 the width of this one.Neck relief is much more difficult to read. I would almost leave it up to a pro, but if you're having issues, and string action height is good, I would make 1/8-turn adjustments and use my ear as a gauge.

This product has to be thought of in conjunction with the booklet and videos that accompany their use. Yes, this is a lot of money for something that is in effect a set of 'curated' and carefully marked feeler gauges, but because of the other materials and the very clear markings and instructions, I've made more progress in doing my own setups since buying the music nomad gear and following along with their videos, than I have in the past 30 years of various books and picking up tips here and there. Recommended – just be sure to follow along with their tutorials. I'm sure once I've absorbed it all I'll branch out but for the moment, these get a solid thumbs up. I'll post an identical review for their other gauges which are also excellent.
