D'Addario String Height Gauge

Eyeballing guitar action is fine right up until you find yourself saying, “Yeah… that looks about two millimetres-ish.” The D'Addario String Height Gauge replaces the guesswork with actual measurements, giving guitarists and bassists a simple, pocket-sized tool for getting their setups properly dialled in.

Made from durable stainless steel, the PW-SHG-01 is designed for measuring several of the little distances that make an enormous difference to how an instrument feels. You can use it to check string height/action, pickup height and neck relief, along with other useful setup measurements.

Both metric and US/imperial scales are clearly marked on the gauge, so there's no need to start converting fractions while simultaneously holding a guitar, ruler and Allen key. Put the gauge where you need it, take the measurement and you've got a repeatable reference rather than relying on memory and optimism.

That's particularly useful when experimenting with your setup. Want to lower the action but still be able to return to where you started? Measure it first. Adjusting pickup height and want both sides balanced? Measure them. Got one guitar that feels absolutely perfect and want to use its setup as a starting point for another? Write those numbers down before touching anything.

It's also a cracking little tool for checking an instrument after seasonal changes, string-gauge swaps or general maintenance. Wood moves, neck relief changes and setups drift over time; having a proper measurement lets you work out what has actually changed rather than immediately reaching for the truss rod because something feels funny.

At Musicmaker, we'd consider the D'Addario String Height Gauge one of those inexpensive tools that belongs in every guitarist's maintenance kit. Small piece of steel, enormous reduction in guesswork.
