Customer Review: Just the trick for my guitar setups
Summary: 5 Stars
I've played guitar for several years now, and only in the past few months have I begun seriously working on guitar setup/repairs as a luthier. The one glaring problem I had as a budding enthusiast was that my tools weren't up to snuff (what average workbench setup has gauges designed to measure in thousandths?) After cringing at prices from LuthierSupply, StewMac, and the like, I stumbled onto this feeler gauge in my Amazon recommendations (thank you once again for reading my mind...though it is getting a bit creepy...)
For under $5, it seemed like a safe bet to take a chance on, and I snapped one up immediately. Upon opening, the first thing I noticed was..oil. Be warned: The blades come packaged with some form of lubricant between them that I doubt most would want to spread on other surfaces (like the fretboard of your guitar for example). After wiping much of the excess off, I examined the actual tool:
The blades themselves are very well made, easy to read, and are perfect for measuring everything from variances in fret heights (those that are impossible to gauge by eye) to pickup and string height (in order to setup action and neck relief). For those measurements exceeding 0.025"/0.635mm it's a simple matter to add adjacent blades in combination up to a total of 0.328"/8.332mm. This is made possible due to the fact that the first blade on the wheel is actually the .025"/.635mm, allowing gauges to be added progressively from the smallest value up. Perhaps this is obvious, but I did not see it mentioned in the item description, and it does increase its overall usefulness.
Furthermore, the protective metal sleeve can be removed to separate the gauges for individual use by removing the thumb screw at the top (though I personally have yet to see the need to do so). And don't worry, I've yet to see any indication that the screw can fall off on its own and scatter tiny impossible-to-pick-off-the-floor-by-hand gauges everywhere.
All in all, a great little tool that I suspect will serve me well for many years to come.
