Pickup Clearance Gauges – StewMac

Pickup Clearance Gauges

Simple and fast way to consistently set the gap between strings and pickups.

Clever time-saver: Fret a string at the last fret, slide a gauge under it, and raise the pickup until the polepiece touches the gauge. 1/32″, 1/16″, 3/32″ and 1/8″ thicknesses span nearly all the pro player specs in Dan Erlewine’s book, How to Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great.

Made of non-magnetic brass, more practical than steel rulers or feeler gauges. Set of 4.

Thanks to guitar tech Dirk Wacker for developing this tool.
