MusicNomad MN600 Precision Truss Rod Neck Relief Gauge Tool

adjusting trust rods just became very easy I have used it on my Jackson and Stratocaster it does a fantastic job only small in size but this tool really is fantastic i love it.

This product has to be thought of in conjunction with the booklet and videos that accompany their use. Yes, this is a lot of money for something that is in effect a set of 'curated' and carefully marked feeler gauges, but because of the other materials and the very clear markings and instructions, I've made more progress in doing my own setups since buying the music nomad gear and following along with their videos, than I have in the past 30 years of various books and picking up tips here and there. Recommended – just be sure to follow along with their tutorials. I'm sure once I've absorbed it all I'll branch out but for the moment, these get a solid thumbs up. I'll post an identical review for their other gauges which are also excellent.

Being able to actually measure if your neck is straight or not makes ALL the difference when doing a set up. If I lost mine and they doubled the price, I would buy it again in a heart beat! If you’re getting into doing your own set ups, do not skip this tool!

I've used this a few times now on my guitars and its really useful that with the simplest of measurements you can prevent the bowing in your neck from getting out of hand. The tip is that even after correcting for this if your action is high down the fret board, it means you need either a saddle or nut adjustment

Ok so it’s essentially a clean, small set of feeler gauges with 3 blades. It is however free from oils and has some instructions on the back. I initially though the box was empty, so it’s really light and small. It does what it should and is of decent quality. You pay for decent tools, you could use a cheaper automotive set and degrease them, if on a budget. For me it fits the purpose.

Easy to use, just follow the recommended steps and it makes setting neck relief a doddle. Used on a Gibson ES335 and a Fender Precision bass, if I can give a tip it would be to only make small adjustments, no more than a quarter of a turn at a time, let things settle down before doing more.

Everything about it was helpful

Tool is excellent but is far cheaper choosing the music nomad price

La qualité music nomade. Un gain de temps phénoménal pour le réglage du manche. J'ai pu comparer avec une règle à cran, et ça la vaut très largement.

This is a really well-thought-out truss rod relief gauge, and it ended up being a bigger upgrade than I expected. I was initially reluctant because I already owned a traditional feeler gauge, but what sold me on this one was the fact that it comes clean and grease-free, with only the sizes you actually need for guitar setups. The simplified size selection makes setup faster and less annoying, especially compared to traditional gauges that include way too many unused measurements. The markings are clear, easy to read, and the included reference system is genuinely helpful when you’re dialing things in. I was also pleasantly surprised that the pick capo isn’t a gimmick. It works very well for holding down the first fret and feels more consistent than some traditional capos, which can add unnecessary tension. Being able to make adjustments with it in place is a nice bonus rather than a requirement. The gauge itself is compact, solidly made, and fits perfectly into a small tool case. Overall, it’s a clean, simple, and very effective tool that reflects MusicNomad’s “keep it simple” approach. If you do regular setups, this is an excellent upgrade over a standard feeler gauge.

Exelente producto. Si no tienes experiencia es muy buena referencia y si tienes experiencia facilita el trabajo.

Il kit indispensabili se siete maniaci della regolazione del truss rod. Diversamente dalla totalità degli spessimetri da officina, queste non sono lubrificate a olio e possono essere usate in musica. Da bassista il mio voto è 10 e lode.
