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."

Great design and idea. The only problem is when you have tinnitus like most musicians have, it is almost impossible to hear the little click. My fault not the tools!
The Music City Bridge Nut Slot Gauge is a must-have for any guitarist who's unsure about their fretboard nut setup. It's incredibly easy to use, even if you're not a tech expert. In just a few seconds, it helped me determine whether my nut slots were too high or just right. Saved me a trip to the shop and gave me confidence in my setup. Highly recommended for DIY setups and peace of mind!
Fantastic tool, perfect nut slotting guaranteed. Delivered with care all the way to Wales UK. Thank you

Man o Man are these great. The workmanship is impeccable and they have the perfect weight for added sustain without being clunky. Beside fixing some intonation troubles my old bridge was giving me, it made my life easier because; I was worried I would have a lot of trouble switching these out and having to cut down grub screws(my least favorite job on guitars; they either go flying or I burn my finger on at least two of them in the process). The two shorter ones included made the job painless. Another great feature of the bridge pieces are the micro grooves. I like to put Gibson string spacing on my Tele nut; this gives me the feel I love but sometimes the E’s are a little Close To The Edge(gotta love YES). One slot over on the bass side and two on the treble and my Tele is happy; thus so am I.
Thanks from a very satisfied customer,

Thanks for creating a perfect little tool for determining nut slot height.
Great tool and time saver
Working on a nut can be a little nerve racking. Also, you have to put the string on, then take the string off, over and over until the action feels.......ahhh pretty good. With this slot gauge you just file and listen for the click. Much, much faster and more accurate. Love it. I will get another one, just in case, because I can't see going back to the old way of doing it.
I used to fiddle with feeler gauges and the "tap" method for string slot action. While these methods "worked", they were inconsistent or took a lot of time. The Nut Slot Gauge is such a great tool to resolve these issues. I can't recommend them enough really fantastic when making a new nut as well. its nice to be able to really dial in slots and do the final shaping and polishing before installing the nut permanently.
Setups are faster, easy to use tool, very cool
