The Guitar Neck Relief Gauge is an essential tool for achieving precise neck adjustments and optimal playability. It simplifies the process of measuring neck relief, allowing you to accurately dial in the correct amount of forward bow for a balanced and comfortable setup.
Designed for both acoustic and electric guitars, this gauge offers accuracy down to 0.001″ (0.02mm), providing dependable measurements for consistent truss rod adjustments. The easy-to-read dial indicator eliminates guesswork and ensures precise control over neck curvature.
Constructed from durable aluminum, the gauge is built for long-term workshop use. Its 12″ (304.8mm) length allows stable positioning across the fretboard, while accommodating both new and worn frets.
How to Use
Zero the gauge on a known straight surface or straightedge.
Position the gauge feet on the 1st and 12th frets.
Rest the indicator plunger over the 5th or 6th fret.
Adjust the truss rod as needed while monitoring the dial reading in thousandths of an inch.
With this tool, you can precisely set neck relief to match your instrument, string gauge, and playing style. Proper relief adjustment helps achieve clean action, reduced fret buzz, and consistent performance across the entire fretboard.
