Mudder 17 Pieces Guitar Setup Kit Luthier Tools Set Include Radius Gauge String Action Ruler 32 Blades Feeler Gauges Notched Radius Neck Notched Straight Edge Fret Rocker for Guitar Bass Setup

This set of tools is how you make your guitar play like like one from a custom shop . And sound it's best . This set has it all . However I do recommend doing some studying on guitar setup before you use these tools because they don't come with instructions . Just as you can make a ok guitar play it's best you can ruin a good guitar if you don't know what your doing . With a little knowhow you can make a $300 guitar play like a $1000 guitar . Advice for using these tools GO SLOW very slow and remember a little can be a whole lot . Good luck and hope this helps .

Very nice kit. Everything works like it should. Very easy to use and figure out. Very well made and a must have when working on your guitar. However it does have some sharp edges but I just sanded them a bit

When you buy this, you are not getting a Stew Mac Luthier set. That would be like comparing Harbor Freight to Snap-On. But the pricing is also comparable.The Fret Leveling gauge is really nice. It's the best tool in the set.The action gauge is also nice.The notched straight-edge has sharp edges. I filed mine smooth with a smooth cut mill file. This can be done while preserving the straightness.The radius gauges are thin, I am not sure they are all marked correctly, but they work.The feeler gauge set is more useful to a machinist or mechanic than a luthier, it has many sizes you will never use and is missing sizes you might want.Overall, a pretty good set. It could be better.

Perfect for my hobby of repairing, restoring, and modifying guitars.

Happy with this purchase.Glad they are offered in this price/ condition.Spent an hour deburring these but I expected that at this price.Use a piece of glass to check flatness and sand against if you need it to be perfectly flat.A cheap debur whip will clean up most problem edges

Some of these things are better than others. I was pleasantly surprised that the notched fretboard ruler were fret rocker were dead straight and without burrs. The edges are fairly sharp but you can dull them if you want, or just be careful with it. BTW someone complained that the ruler is a bit short, and you have to place it starting after the first fret. I think that's intentional, because that region of the fretboard is different from the rest of the fretboard, and may slope up (thicken) toward the nut to support it. (If you had a fretboard like that and a full-length ruler, that ramped bit of the fretboard would keep you from setting the ruler flat against the rest of fretboard.) WARNINGS: I found that the overstring radius gauge for high radii (14-20) with wide slot spacing was MISLABELED... the labels for 7.25 and 12 were swapped, so I taped over those and wrote the correct dimensions on the tape. The understring (inverted T-shaped) radius gauges also have at least one dimensional error: the gauges labeled 15 and 17 have the same radius, so at least one of them is wrong, and maybe the 16 as well. (I have two sets and am not sure which came with this kit, but they've both got a problem here. In one, the gauges labeled 15,16, and 17 have identical curvature. In the other, the one labeled 16 is more curved than both the 15 and 17. Go figure. The bottom line is that these are cheap tools and if you need to make fine distinctions like a radius of 15 vs 16 inches, you should check the accuracy of the curves. That's pretty easy to do by improvising a large compass with a strip of cardboard, a pushpin for a pivot, and little holes at the relevant distances from the pivot. Draw some curves and see if the tools match.

I bought this set to set up my banjitar, bit the scale length isn't right for it, but that's on me. I didn't check the banjitar scale length against the kit before I purchased it, but fortunately I have an army of guitars, and it works great for them. Definitely a great purchase. The edges could have been rounded a little better as they are rather sharp, but I definitely recommend this kit if you're one that likes to set up your own instruments.

Unfortunately I received two 20" understring radius gauges, but no 9.5" understring radius gauge. The overstring radius gauges are also clearly mislabeled: the smaller and larger radius sides were mixed up! They also have sharp edges that could scratch your guitarAt this point, I don't trust the radius tools and that makes me not trust the straight edges or action gauge either. You can probably still get some jobs done with them. At least they are cheap. I did get a couple guitars set up OK anyhow. But I wouldn't buy this again, and I will probably gradually replace all these tools.
