Great is good – awesome is better

What is the difference between a great guitar and a truly amazing guitar that is just impossible to put down? Every guitar and bass player who has ever entrusted their instrument to a professional guitar tech or luthier will know the answer: It's the customised setup that gives outstanding playability. And since perfect results can only be achieved with high-precision measuring and setting tools, MusicNomad has specially developed the Precision Setup Gauge Set, which comprises all the necessary gauges for accurately measuring and adjusting an instrument's imperfections whenever they occur and allows consistent results to be achieved every time.

MusicNomad Precision Setup Gauge Set

Precise tools for precise results

The MusicNomad Precision Setup Gauge Set comes with a whole bunch of easy-to-use stainless steel gauges with laser-engraved markings and scales in both inch (imperial) and metric sizes, including truss rod and nut height feeler gauges, a string action gauge, and two radius gauges. The feeler gauges are precision-manufactured stainless steel sheets with a defined thickness that can be slid between the string and the fret wire, while the string action gauge can also be used as a fret rocker to identify incorrect fret heights.

Professional tools – professional results

The MusicNomad Precision Setup Gauge Set is the ideal solution for professional repair shops and touring guitar techs who are looking for robust premium-quality tools for professional use and have the required expert knowledge. The nut height gauges, for example, are primarily intended for specialists who know how to file nut slots. But it is also possible for ambitious beginners to learn the ropes if they are willing to invest some of their time, for example by viewing the comprehensive range of video tutorials offered for each individual set on the highly recommended MusicNomad website.

About MusicNomad

MusicNomad was founded by Rand Rognlien, a specialist for automotive paint care products and a passionate hobby musician. When he launched the MusicNomad web portal in 2008 to build a network for himself and his fellow musicians along the lines of Facebook, he needed a strategy to raise the necessary funds. That was when Rand's extensive professional expertise came into play and he started to develop professional instrument care products for all kinds of materials and surfaces, from lacquer and metal to bare wood, which he soon complemented by a selection of special tools. Since then, MusicNomad has become a household name in music communities in over 50 countries worldwide and is the preferred choice of numerous renowned guitar manufacturers, such as Taylor Guitars and Martin Guitars.

The ideal gauges for a sound setup

To get the most out of it, the MusicNomad Precision Setup Gauge Set is best used in conjunction with the corresponding setting tools, which are also available separately from MusicNomad. Utmost care should be taken when adjusting the string action on the nut, which requires not only the suitable gauges from the Precision Setup Gauge Set but also high-precision nut files with sharp, rounded blades. The nut slots must be filed very carefully and measured several times during the process so as to prevent them from being cut too deeply, which would be extremely difficult to correct. Adjusting the truss rod or the string action is far easier: Here, users can simply tighten or loosen the designated nut or screw until the desired neck relief or action height is achieved.

Zeer compacte set tools voor alle mogelijke gitaren.
Alle elementen in deze kit zijn van onberispelijke kwaliteit.
Ik zou dit zeker aanraden, tenslotte gaat dit een heel leven mee en bovendien zijn er goede insctructievideo's bij MusicNomad beschikbaar.
