Hard to fault a ruler
tremblox 07.01.2023
One of these tools that you will not need or use on a daily basis but which every once in a while will be indispensable.

Measure your action for every string and pickup heights in metric or imperial. Document them and then change according to your playability and tonal preferences. Having a documented baseline is always going to help you and will let you see in an instant any changes in the setup; for example due to seasonal changes, guitar string gauge/brand changes, tuning changes etc. You don’t need this tool to set up your guitar but it sure as heck helps and really helps to ensure consistency. I’d recommend this along with a fret rocker and board guard as the first tools to own after a string winder.

It is not a "nice to have" but a "must to have" tool.

Nice budget-friendly tool
RChg 23.06.2023
The quality of this action gauge is very nice. The metal is thick enough so the gauge does not bend. The markings are clear and easy to read. The string height markers are not just line marks, as with some other manufacturers, but are coloured-stacks. This makes it easier to assess the actual height of the string. Very helpful.
It has every possible marks for string and pickup adjustments. Recommended values for guitar/bass string height, printed on the back give a good starting point for further adjustments, especially for those who are new to setting up their own guitars.
Overall, a great tool at fraction of the price you pay for some other brands. Highly recommended.

Quality and seems to have a really god ink printed and you can actually feel numbers even if the paint tears apart which seems pretty hard you will still be able to read the numbers

It does what it should!
AGuitarPlayer 29.12.2022
As the headline says; it does what it supposed to do. It's a good thing that it has both millimeters and inches, so you can copy the action of some favorite Anglo-Saxon guitarist of yours more easily, in hope it will result with you playing just like him/her. ;)

Pleased with the purchase and would buy it again!

I used to setup my guitars and basses bye eye and ear, so to say, but since I bought the luthier's tools from HB I realized that the setup could be done at an excellent level.
Thanks to this gauge, the string and pickups action could be set exactly at your liking.
The use of a magnifier is recommended. I use one of those LED round lights with a large magnifying glass inside, whose flexible arm could be fixed to a desk.
