MusicNomad String Action Gauge MN602

Finally, an action guage that is printed straight. I've purchased a few cheapos, and the printing is always a bit misaligned, making them fairly useless. This tool is well made and precisely printed. It is cut well enough that it really can be used as a fret rocker. As well, the black background and white printing is very easy to read, just the right contrast. This tool is well worth the price difference to me, as it is the only one of many that is actually useable.

Does what it says in the description. I was hesitating at first condsidering the price, but was happy to notice it was money well spend. The black colour really makes a big difference on reading the markings.

I finally decided to get this gauge as many mentioned the ease of reading the numbers.
I agree it is not cheap, but indeed it is so much easier to use because of the colors used!
No regrets and would buy it anytime again.

Most of these tools are more like the same. The differences are mostly on how accurate are the measurements, how they are printed on the steel and how easy are to read. This one checks all the boxes. Insane price if you ask me for a piece of metal. But in comparison with the average gauges in the market, it feels premium, if we can say that for a gauge. I recommend it if you do your own setup or for professionals.

Upon seeing the price, I almost thought it wouldn't be worth the money but there's hardly another action gauge on the market like this one. Black colouring makes all of the information easy to read and it's easy to use in general.

This is a very useful little tool, and i especially like that there is a table with useful measurements for setting up string height.

Very handy all in one

I've owned other gauges (the silver ones that you buy in Amazon) and, apart from the chinese ones that you never know if the measures are really accurate, the BIG difference here is that this gauge is black...who would've thought that a simple change will make a difference but it does! Specially when trying to measure string height. The black background makes it way more easier.

The measurements are okay. However, the description says this tool can be used as a fret rocker as well. THIS IS A LIE. The angles are not completely straight and I leveled the frets on my guitar thinking they were off when in fact they were not. Do not use this tool as a fret rocker.

I only threw this in on an order because I thought it might come in handy but now it's become my GOTO tool.
No more squinty side-eyeing the action or relief.
Why didn't I always have one?
