MusicNomad MN600 Precision Truss Rod Neck Relief Gauge Tool

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Everything about it was helpful

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

It does the job but too expensive for what is basically a big plectrum and 3 plastic feeler gauges.You may as well use a capo and buy a cheap set of feeler gauges to do the same thing.

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.

Nice item, well made and accurate.

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.

Helpful on tool information. I checked for neck relief.
