## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well
*by B***D on May 1, 2025*

Have both Silver and Black.Both good. Black is easier for me to see.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s great.
*by M***S on March 28, 2025*

Very well made. No complaints.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfectly legible and brilliantly intuitive--use it to avoid purchasing a defective guitar
*by D***L on April 9, 2021*

This is the second Baroque String Action Gauge I've purchased because I gave the first one to another guitar player who loves it, too. He is a machinist by trade. The Baroque String Action Gauge is a high quality piece by the highest manufacturing standards: legible markings, intuitive, durable in frequent use, scaled in both millimeters and thousands of inches--your choice based upon your comfort (Stew Mac separates the scales on to two separate gauges--totally ridiculous and terribly expensive). Use this scale to learn the language of setups with precise measurements that reveal whether or not a guitar neck is defective. Quickly use this string action gauge to also identify guitar manufacturers' tricks that conceal defective necks and sloppy fret jobs. Also ignore YouTube reviewers telling us what to buy. They are lining their walls with free guitars from guitar manufacturers who require final approval of their "unbiased reviews" before you and I are allowed to see the uploaded version. So, these editing conditions suppress the whole truth about the "great" guitars. Use this string action gauge so you can to reveal guitar necks that are an unplayable mess that can not be fixed. Fender research claims 90% of all its guitars purchased are no longer played by the purchaser after one year. Have you measured the string height above the 12th fret of a new Fender guitar at Guitar Center lately? Surprise! 90% of the new Fender guitars' string height is so insanely high about the frets that they will make my fingertips bleed after 5 minutes of playing! Measurements with this string action gauge will reveal these problems. Another suggestion. Why not buy a 21st Century Schecter guitar built in South Korea and enjoy a buttery smooth playing experience rather than buying a primitive guitar that was designed back when George Washington was still in diapers. That is what I did.
