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

I love MusicNomad's gear! Great for techs and builders. It is a little pricey, but nowhere near as pricey as StewMac. Excellent quality for the price. Also, they have a great Youtube channel with awesome videos on how to use their products.

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 bridge For 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.

Great tools for guitar setup. Easy to use and understand.

A little expensive compared to other offerings but I feel it's worth it. Specially the well marked black ruler. Great kit to have. After setting up a few guitars the price no longer bothers. Works well and it's nice to have well made tools.

A nice kit but in my opinion a bit pricey for what it is..

In retirement I have started building electric guitars in my workshop to donate to local school music programs and veterans. Have played guitar for over 50 years but always “eye-balled” a setup or had a repair guy do it. But building guitars forces you to learn how to do a proper setup. I have used multiple Music Nomad products in the past and this kit covers a lot of setup bases including neck relief, string and pickup height, intonation and neck radius. The online videos show you exactly how to use the gauges. The price is less than one good setup at the music store plus you learn how to fine tune your guitars for a better sound!

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 helpful Did 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.

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.
