Introducing the Music City Bridge “Nut Slot Gauge.” This simple and effective tool ensures you achieve the lowest possible nut action while eliminating open-string buzz.
With four built-in preferences of bump up above a "zero" fret - 0.000 (in thousandths of inches), 0.003, 0.005, and 0.008, the Nut Slot Gauge easily and accurately measures your nut slots' current height, with or without strings, and unaffected by action or the truss rod setting. This helps you achieve the softest feel and also the least detuning due to grip.
How to use the Nut Slot Gauge:
- Move the string out of the slot.
- Place the measuring gauge into the slot and slide the tool towards the bridge.
- If you hear a click, then the nut is taller than the gauge.
- If you don't, the nut is lower than the gauge.
