MusicNomad Precision 6 pc. Guitar Setup Gauge Tool Set - Plus 24 pg. Instructional Booklet and Storage Case (MN604)

I've been around guitars most of my life. Always struggling to learn. I always thought set ups were for techs and pros to do. But after seeing a few videos about how to do it. I thought I could do it too.One thing I never thought of before was having the radius of the strings at the bridgeFor less than the price of having 1 guitar set up done by a "pro," I ordered this set of tools. And can do all my own set ups. Most players probably have 3 or more guitars. So this well help you understand your guitar better and how it works.I fist set up took me about 45 min to do a Les Paul type guitar. I use my least expensive guitar just in case I screwed up something.With my tools ready and the music nomad kiss video on YouTube, it was pretty straight forward. The only thing I got wrong was using the pick capo swrong at first. The pick capo is the only part on this kit that I feel is kinda cheap, however it is functional.Now all the gauges are great clearly marked, easy to read and use. Buy the time you do 2 or 3 different set ups, everything makes more sense.The case it nice, and has extra room for small tools, accessories, or even a clip on tuner or a traditional capo.One thing I never thought of was matching the radius of the saddle with the neck radius. But as soon as I saw and heard that on the video, I was like well duh. Makes sense that it would match.I do think it's a little pricey for what it is, but totally worth it fore what I can do! Also remember it pays for itself in 2-3 set ups.Now, all my guitars a re very similar, not 100% identical, but ever so close. This definitely makes them easier to play, and I think it makes you a starter player buy understanding your instrument more.

This is a great set of gauges. Well-made, easy to use and everything is clearly marked. This was my first time setting up my Epi Les Paul and I found the online videos very helpful. If like me, you have only changed strings before you will have no trouble using these gauges. After following the instructions and a new set of string my guitar sounds and feels like it did when it was new.

Music Nomad makes great tools for guitars, period. They're cheaper than that other overpriced company, (S&M) and they work well! I have a bunch of their tools.Before, I would use my own feeler gauge set and a machinists 6" scale and other generic tools. MN's tools come with instructions and at first you might think their instructions are, "generic" and only a starting point. Well, they're not! I used the nut slot feeler gauges and I thought all of my nuts were already cut as deep as I could go without getting string buzz; I was wrong! I was able to bring my nut slots down considerably without getting any buzz. The difference was noticeable. For one, when you fret a low note, the string no longer goes sharp, making you chance your tail, (and intonation).I also have their nut slot files and those are great as well! I just ordered over $200 worth of additional tools from them, including the "S" fret dresser, workspace mat and some other things. They put a lot of thought into all of their tools. I can't recommend them enough!

Fantastic Kit! I’ve used other tools, and this seems to address all my complaints, easy to read , and the instructions make it a snap to follow.I’ve tried doing my own setups for years and was always frustrated that it wasn’t quite right or I did something wrong. The string radius was super helpfulDid my first guitar in about 10 minutes with this kit, and was blown away by how much better it played.I bought a 1800 Strat at Guitar center that came out the box setup like dog turd. When I asked them to do the setup, they told me they don’t do setups with new guitars and I would have pay their tech another $100 bucks to set up.5 minutes with this kit and it plays amazing. Screw you guitar center, you lost another customer to sweetwater.

great little kit...I gave it 4 stars because the price could be more competitive!

The finish quality on it is remarkable !!!!Easily 5 stars.Every item is top quality.The stainless thickness gouges are engraved which is much preferred then just marked .Another action gouge is Stewmac - the writing on the stewmac are engraved and the gouge steel is thicker then the Music Nomad so the Stewmac gets 6 stars !!!The ruller is both colored and engraved which is just perfect.Everything including thenicectouch if box us top notch.Well worth the money . Looks super durable..Just buy it and look for yourself.Highly Highly Highly recommended

Everything you need to verify or make adjustments minus the screw/nut drivers that you will need. Consider it one part of at least two kits you'll need! Note: If you don't know how to adjust the neck, bridge, intonation, or string height, you'll need to do a little research, but this tool kit has free online instructions to get you started (minus some of the more specialized guitars/basses). Get the MusicNomad Premium 26 PC. Guitar Tech Screwdriver & Wrench Set MN229, and there's nothing you shouldn't be able to repair or adjust!

I have purchased other setup kits and individual tools before and each of them disappointed in either quality or legibility in that they were very difficult to read when trying to adjust action or setting string height. This kit was well thought out, well made, and very easy to read. That last fact increases the value of this kit 10x over others that now sit on my shelf untouched.
