StewMac Brass Pickup Clearance Gauges, Set of 4
When to choose it
Choose the set if the pickup procedure calls for one of its four fixed gaps. The brass gauges provide a reference near a magnetic pickup without using a steel feeler blade.
These spacers serve a pickup check rather than string action at a fret. Follow the instrument maker’s instructions on holding the string and choosing the reading point before using a spacer.
