Basic Setup Kit – StewMac

Basic Setup Kit

Make any guitar play better.

We’re often asked to recommend “must-have” tools for setting up guitars. So we’ve made it easy: the Basic Setup Kit features our most popular setup tools. These are the same super-accurate, high quality steel setup tools that professional repair shops depend on.

Also available in metric too!

Includes

String Action Gauge Also sold separately
The fastest way to measure the height of strings, nuts, saddles and pickup polepieces. Designed for stringed instrument work, it’s much faster to use than any ruler. (0670-M Metric in International set)

18″ Precision Straightedge Also sold separately
Machined for fanatic accuracy (to ±.0015″ per foot)! Use it to check neck relief and evaluate truss rod adjustments.

Understring Radius Gauges Also sold separately
A big help for matching bridge saddle heights to the fretboard curvature, for easier playability. Accurately laser-cut from stainless steel, the set includes 9 different fretboard radii.

Free Instructions : Erick Coleman walks you through basic setup instructions to have your guitar playing great in no time.

Truss rod adjustment is an important part of guitar setup, too.
