Description

Edit description

Achieve perfect string height with the MusicNomad MN601 Precision Nut Height Gauge, the essential tool for any serious guitarist or bassist. This compact yet powerful device is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and precision with every use. Designed with both metric and imperial measurements, the MN601 features laser-etched lines and easy-to-read numbers, eliminating the guesswork and hassle of setting up your instrument.

Whether you're working on an electric, acoustic, classical, or bass guitar, this gauge is your go-to for accurate nut height adjustments. It comes with the three most common nut height sizes (0.016", 0.018", and 0.020") plus three additional sizes (0.012", 0.014", and 0.022"), offering flexibility for those who prefer lower action or a heavier pick attack. Unique to MusicNomad, this gauge is part of their Keep It Simple Setup (KISS) method, helping you achieve professional results with minimal effort.

The instructions are conveniently printed right on the handle, making it incredibly easy to use even for beginners. Say goodbye to the messy oil found on traditional feeler gauges and embrace the clean, precise craftsmanship of MusicNomad. Elevate your instrument care routine with the MN601 and experience the difference that precision makes.
