Guitar Neck Notched Straight Edge Fret Rocker String Height Gauge, Luthiers Tool for Guitar Fretboard and Frets

I wanted to get a ruler that would allow me to check my fretboards set ups without the frets in the way. Looking at the price of them on StewMac I decided to see what Amazon had to offer. Some reviews said this ruler isn't flat or bends easily and that is not the case for the one I received. It arrived in a padded envelope and was packed well. I used our quartz countertop to check the accuracy and was pleased that every thing was perfectly flat on both sides of the ruler. I have a couple of Les Pauls, Telecasters and Strats along with a PRS and this ruler works on all of them. It has made adjusting my necks much easier to do and the accuracy allows me to get my string action where I like it without the fret buzz that could crop up when I was just using a standard straightedge without the notches. I have not used the Fret Rocker much, but when I checked it, like the ruler, it is also flat and straight. Both feel sturdy and would take a lot of force to bend. I'm glad that I purchased this set as it is a nice addition to my ever growing tool box.

This notched straight edge & fret rocker are a great value. Nice & thick metal, with an OK finish. No, they are not polished, but for that you either invest more money, or your own time & effort. Quite easy for a novice to learn how to use. There are tutorials all over YouTube. Agreed that the fret rocker is not a string gauge, though it could be with a bit of effort or imagination since we know it to be .08" thick. Even better if the manufacturer put a little bit more effort in & scribed them, but that would up the price of course. Besides, most of use get string action rulers as a separate item, usually when we buy radius gauges. Might have been four stars for the finish, but I am adding in the fifth one to offset the one-star review, and because of the low price. These should last a lifetime with any care at all.

The quality of the items is what I expected for the price. The are structurally correct, but they lack the refined finish of higher priced tools. The edges are uneven, rough and sharp edged. I expected this when I purchased them. I used large diamond sharpening plates to hone and perfect the contact surfaces. I trued them using a verified level surface. A large carborundum polishing wheel polished up the side surfaces.I now have a set of quality tools, at a fraction of the price! I am very pleased with my purchase.

I like go work on my own guitars. Quality tools are expensive. For home use this gets the job done. No complaints.

Not straight. Make sure you check before using them. I worked on three guitars before realizing the notched straight edge was faulty—uneven on both sides.

I've avoided buying this for years by making my own out of grinding notches in a square. This is more accurate and clean. It's worth the low cost. Use a sheet of freezer paper on your work table and black marker on the surface of the straight edge so it's easier to see between the metal and the wood.

Great value. I'm very happy with them.

I was very impressed by this neck leveling tool and fret rocker. As someone who isn't a professional guitar luthier, I just needed a tool that was good enough for maintenance on my own guitars. I did not want to pay a ridiculous amount for this tool. I found this one, and it suited my needs more than fine. It is heavy duty, I was impressed by that, I thought it would be thinner. The only negative thing I could say about it is: the ends are a little sharp, so just be careful about that, but not at all a reason to not buy this. Definitely recommend.

I knew I would have to deburr it, but finding out it doesn't fit a 25.5" scale guitar nor a 24.75" guitars. I'm speechless. How can a company sell such a junk item. DON'T ORDER IT DOESN'T FIT

Quite thick and chunky which is good. Machining of the straight edge is off. Had to file down some nubs and sharp edges to make it perfectly flat. Could be better from factory. The fret leveler is ok....but flat edge is not square....it's off a small amount but does register flat on all 3 sides.
