It's the best way yet to get vital measurements on acoustic and electric instruments.</p><p><b>• String height</p><p>• Bridge saddle height</p><p>• Saddle slot depth</p><p>• Fret slot depth (unbound fingerboards)</p><p>• Nut height</p><p>• Pickup polepiece height</b></p><p><b>No more "three-and-a-half-64ths or 3/32" plus one of those little lines." This gauge measures in ways that regular rulers can't.</b></p><p>—Dan Erlewine</p><p>Developed here at Stewart-MacDonald by Dan Erlewine and Don MacRostie, the gauge features a <b>progressive string height scale:</b> simply slide it across the frets and read the measurement under the string. It's faster to use than any ruler, and stays parallel to the fingerboard—much easier than trying to hold a ruler perpendicular to a rounded fret.</p><p>The string height markers are graduated from .010" to .140".</p><p>The back of the gauge has a time-saving fractional/decimal/metric conversion chart.</p><p>The String Action Gauge is made of durable stainless steel with precision-etched markings, and fits right in your pocket.</p><p><b>Tip:</b> You can use the gauge to set router depth, instead of a shop ruler. It sits solidly on your router base, with the scale right where you need it.</p>
