Accessories String Height Gauge

It boggles my mind how some companies try to charge for these simple devices and how fanatic some users can be over guitar tools! The D'Addario seemed to me to the be the best price performance product for sale here. The markings are etched into the metal and painted black against the silvery metal so it is easy to read. This should last me a life time.

It is not made with paper-thin metal and is sturdy. The satin surface makes it much easier to read. Be careful when using it since the edges are a little sharp.

Very useful tool for this specific purpose, but it has one flaw: the edges are way too sharp. This will easily scratch your fretboard or other surfaces if you're not very careful with how you're handling it. If the edges were slightly rounded off this'd be a 5/5 for me

This is a useful tool for quickly evaluating the setup of string instruments. Other measuring tools are available for making more precise adjustments, but this one serves admirably for making quick assessments of the current physical state of guitars, banjos, mandolins, etc.

Greate

I suppose it’s accurate enough, but the edges are quite sharp - much like a woodworking scraper. Be careful when using it because it could easily damage your guitar. The Stewmac version is much better, albeit more expensive.

I don’t know what I’d do without this tool. I bought it to set the pickup heights on my guitars, but I keep finding new uses for it.

Exactly what i was expecting.

Seems robust and accurate. Nice easy to read gauge which is far better than my old method of squinting at a metal rule.

Règle en inox, très petite en taille, mais très efficace et très pratique… Elle est très lisible et peut-être utilisé en mm ou en inch

Es una herramienta útil, de buena calidad y construcción robusta. Para sacarle partido es necesario saber usarla.

Questo calibro D’Addario è uno strumento semplice ma estremamente utile per chi desidera regolare con precisione l’action della propria chitarra o basso. La costruzione è solida, le incisioni sono ben leggibili e la scala di misurazione è chiara su entrambi i lati, permettendo un utilizzo immediato anche a chi non ha grande esperienza di setup. Le dimensioni compatte lo rendono comodo da tenere nella custodia della chitarra o nella cassetta degli attrezzi, e la precisione delle misure consente di ottenere rapidamente un’impostazione coerente su tutte le corde e su tutti gli strumenti. Personalmente vi ho settato sia 6 corde che 7 corde, con differenti setup. È un accessorio che migliora la qualità del setup e aiuta a mantenere l'action più confortevole. Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo.
