MusicNomad MN601 Nut Height Gauge

Yellow MusicNomad nut-height tool with the six blades extended.
Yellow MusicNomad nut-height tool with the six blades extended.

When to choose it

Choose this set when the setup procedure calls for a blade check and one of its six thicknesses matches the required range. Compare the reading at the same string and reference point before making any decision about the nut.

The set gives you a different blade range from the MN600 relief gauge. Keep the measurement location and tool role separate, even when both gauges are part of the same setup.

Questions about this product

Can I cut a slot with the blade?

The blades measure clearance. Use a correctly sized file only if the work calls for cutting.

Does this include a .010-inch blade?

The stated range starts at .012 inch. The separate relief gauge includes a .010-inch blade.

What if my instrument calls for a different measuring method?

Use that method and choose a gauge designed for its reference surface.
