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."

Bought two of these tools for my local guitar shop in South Carolina for the techs . Amazing is all they can say .
Makes replacing or tweaking a nut much quicker by far . Why didn’t I think of designing a tool like this ? Ninja quick shipping !!
While installing my MCB on my Les Paul Special, I did a check of my nut slots, a little file action, new bridge, string height lower, no intonation issues, plays "like butta". Thanks MCB
A perfect tool for measuring correct nut slot depth. Great job!
Quick Delivery,nut Slot gauge ist easy to use and Work perfekt.
Another well executed and brilliant idea from Joe and the team!
Hey guys. Tried the gauge as soon as it arrived, but did not have my hearing aids in ha, so what click i am thinking ha. Also the taper on the end of the 3 sides sort of threw me off till I finally used it. One thing though, one side of the outer assembly actually came unglued for some reason and came off. But with having the alignment holes thru the guage i just used some contact glue and some drill bits as alingment pins and glued it back together. I assume it should be ok now. Would have not know about if not for Uncle Larry, and checking out the music city bridge. Really should have ordered one of those also when I got the guage. Sure nice to have a way to check my work with my nut installs now, thanks.

Everything this company ships is gold. Solving real problems for guitar players.
Innovation... for old eyes!
This gauge is probably one of the easiest things one will ever use when measuring for nut slot depth. If you hear a small "click" you need to file if there's no "click" you're good just make sure you use the right measurement on the gauge.
