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 toward 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.
"The nut slot height is one of the most critical and routinely neglected aspects of a great guitar setup. It is difficult to control the depth within the tight tolerances that are required. You work the slot down slowly until it’s just right, but if you go too far the string buzzes and you have to start again! The Music City Bridge “Nut Slot Gauge” provides the instant and dependable working feedback necessary to control and refine slot depth and deliver a top-notch nut setup every time."

Cool little tool. Just received a new MIJ neck for a Telecaster today. Overall looks great with perfect fretwork, but the nut slot gauge found one low nut slot right away without even installing the neck.
Very good tool , makes checking nut slots fast and easy.
Useful tool for intended purpose
To Be Better you need better tools. Nut slot Gauge is that better tool, auto & visual indicators it's easier to get it prefect.
Great tool- wish I’d thought of it years ago! Perfect depth every time- and fast. Thanks guys. Cheers. Kit.
I've got a shed of basses to play and maintain and that tool is one that I needed. Thanks, Eric.
A bit hard to see the various cuts on the edges. Hoping my gauge is machined correctly
Feeler gauges are fine, but can be a bit tedious to use. I was able to do an entire guitar nut between a string change in about 5-minutes using this to measure the depth of each slot. That is about half if not more than half as long as it does when I use feeler gauges with strings on.
Something I'll say is mine is blue, and I prefer it this way, but I was surprised it wasn't red like the picture.
