Product Description
The Fender String Action Gauge is a compact, precision tool that takes the guesswork out of setting up your guitar or bass. With clearly etched imperial and metric scales plus Fender’s own factory-spec reference chart on the face, it lets you measure string and pickup heights quickly and accurately so you can dial in comfortable playability and consistent tone every time.
Made from durable stainless steel and small enough to live in a gig bag or on a workbench, this gauge is ideal for players who like to tweak their own setups as well as techs and luthiers who need repeatable, professional results. Whether you are checking an electric, acoustic or bass, it gives you a clear visual reference so you can get your instrument playing at its best with confidence.
Precision Setup Made Simple
The String Action Gauge is designed to make accurate measurement straightforward, even if you are new to guitar setup. The etched scales are easy to read against the strings, helping you quickly see if your action and pickup heights are within your preferred range or Fender’s recommended specs. That means less trial and error and more time playing.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction
Crafted from 20 gauge stainless steel, this tool is built for regular use on the bench or on the road. The precision-etched markings will not rub off, ensuring long-term accuracy and reliability whenever you reach for it.
Dual-Scale Measurements
With imperial measurements in 32nds, 64ths and thousandths of an inch on one side and metric readings down to 0.25 mm on the other, the gauge suits any workflow. Whether you prefer to work in inches or millimetres, you can measure and record your ideal setup in the format that makes the most sense to you.
Onboard Fender Reference Guide
The face of the gauge includes Fender’s factory-recommended string action guidelines for electric guitars, acoustic guitars and bass guitars. This gives you a trusted starting point for your setups, making it easier to get into the right ballpark before fine-tuning to taste.
Features
- Precision Etched Stainless Steel - The 20 gauge stainless-steel construction with etched markings delivers long-lasting accuracy and durability, so your measurements stay consistent over time.
- Dual Imperial and Metric Scales - Imperial increments in 32nds, 64ths and thousandths of an inch sit alongside metric measurements down to 0.25 mm, giving you flexibility to work in whichever system you prefer.
- Built-in Fender Setup Reference - The printed guide shows Fender’s recommended string action specs for electric, acoustic and bass instruments, providing a reliable benchmark for quick, repeatable setups.
- Compact, Bench-Friendly Size - Measuring approximately 3.5" by 2", the gauge is small enough to keep in a case or gig bag yet large enough to handle comfortably when measuring string and pickup heights.
