Product Description:

The Neck Relief Gauge is a quick andeasy way to measure and set a guitar\'s neck relief/curvature when adjusting thetruss rod. The two feet and the indicator tip sit on the top of the frets, andthe indicator reads the amount of bow in the neck. Adjusting the truss rodincreases or decreases the amount of the relief in the neck.

This gauge quickly and preciselyadjust guitar fretboard straightness and relief. This allows for a better setup and moreconsistent playability without fret buzz along the fretboard.

It accurately measures the amount ofneck relief (slight dip along the length of the fingerboard) to take theguesswork out of adding or subtracting relief as you adjust the truss rod.

The relief measurement is read on thedial as you adjust the truss rod. It\'s agreat way to establish optimum relief for individual instruments, string gaugesand playing styles.

How to use:

1) Zero the Neck Relief Gauge on anaccurate flat plate or surface

2) Rest the ends directly on the 1stand 12th frets with the gauge on the 5th or 6th fret

3) Adjust the truss rod - The dialwill read the relief in thousands of an inch

4) A measurement of 6-10 thousandthsis ideal, depending on the guitar and action height

As a general rule, if the guitar hasmore fret buzz at the nut end the neck needs more relief. If the fret buzz ison the higher frets the saddle should be raised.

Balancing the saddle height and theneck relief will allow for a perfect action with less fret buzz along all thefrets.
