Here are a few testimonial reviews from highly discerning users:
“Every now and then a tool hits your bench and immediately earns its keep.
It’s not about bells and whistles – it’s about performance, precision, and the confidence it inspires.
That’s exactly what I’ve found about the XT gauge.
This isn’t just a refinement of a good tool – it’s a significant leap forward.”
- John Verhines
“You know, it’s not an easy thing to reinvent the wheel.
People, especially guitar builders (another Tele-style guitar anyone?…) try all the time and mostly end up with a different colored wheel.
You guys, however, have nailed it here.
I honestly didn’t think there were other features that I even wanted – let alone needed on a ‘string height gauge’.
Now, here I am saying to myself, ‘well, that’s a brilliant addition … oh, that’s slick, too!’”
-Aaron Hutzel, Ironhead Guitar Works
Building on the foundation laid by the original, compact-yet-mighty FretGuru 2 (8-in-1 Guitar String Action Gauge), the expanded format of FretGuru XT (9-in-1 Advanced Ultra-Precision Guitar String Action Gauge with MOAGG Technology) has allowed us to maximize the useful features of the original, while bringing new and exclusive, game-changing capabilities to your workbench.
It's an ultra-precision, professional, heirloom grade tool worthy of any workshop or guitar factory - yet still pocket-sized.
Many of the world's busiest A-List guitar shops, leading techs, and brilliant luthiers have told us their most often reached for tool is the original FretGuru 2 gauge, as there's no quicker, easier way to evaluate a guitar when a new client walks in the door … The new FretGuru XT Gauge is about to change that.
While we didn't specifically design FretGuru XT to replace the original FretGuru 2 Gauge, FretGuru XT is a significant upgrade in function, features, readability and ease of use, making it the perfect choice for any demanding, precision-obsessed guitar tech or luthier.
FretGuru XT is built from the ground up as an heirloom quality, precision measuring tool… in a sea of re-purposed metal business cards.
WTF is “MOAGG Technology”?
It’s an unfair advantage for your guitar setups.
FretGuru XT MOAGG Technology & Feature Exclusives:
Beyond being a string action gauge, FretGuru XT has groundbreaking features and functions that put it in a class of its own.
Expanded, 4-sided Fret Rocker Functionality, with Extra Thickness:
Moving beyond FretGuru 2’s 3-sided Fret Rocker functionality, FretGuru XT expands the capability with a 4-sided Rocker to help you accurately and seamlessly find any high frets up to 24th fret and beyond on many guitars and smaller stringed instruments!
FretGuru XT is over 40% larger in surface area and nearly 40% thicker than the already incredible, previous iteration FretGuru 2, meaning you’ll feel less need for a separate, dedicated fret rocker.
It’s your ideal guitar measuring tool, without constraint / size limitations, and, mind-blowingly, as much as 70.6% thicker than competitors.
FretGuru XT shares all the features of the original FretGuru 2 that tinkering players and discerning pros have come to expect:
Laser-Etched Markings & Anti–Glare-Coated Black Finish
Supreme readability with no printing to rub off.
Microscopic Flatness On All the Silky Smooth Sides.
Ensures precise measuring and fret rocking, thanks to every FretGuru Setup and Evaluation Gauge being individually laser cut/ultra-precision CNC machined, and then diamond honed and polished edges.
A joy to hold, with no scratched frets guaranteed!: You'll marvel at the silky smooth edges, and how much effort and obsessive attention has gone into them.
There are 45+ steps and separate moves by CNC machine or by hand that go into the edges alone for FretGuru XT.
Competitor gauges are lucky to get a quick run on the belt sander (if anything at all).
High-Quality, Precision Stainless Steel Construction
Engineered from the ground up as precision measuring and evaluation gauges (not just re-purposed, imprecise metal business cards like competitors).
FretGuru is also proud to highlight that the latest batches of FretGuru 2 also feature the same, nearly 40% thicker construction as FretGuru XT
*Compared to previous iteration FretGuru 2 batches.
Exceptionally Comfort
Holding it in hand feels great thanks to masterfully beveled edges and rounded corners.
Dual Precision String Action Rulers
For 0.010” measurements (ten thousands of an inch up to 0.130”) or 64th” measurements (1/64ths of an inch up to 9/64” ) — including half increments in .005” and .5/64th (½ of a 64th) measurements!
Shop Rule Function:
For general precision measuring up to 2-1/4” in 1/32” increments.
Depth Gauge / Rule Function:
For measuring pickup heights, saddle height, acoustic saddle slot depth, and more.
FretGuru XT: Up to .750" in .025" increments / up to 19mm in 1mm increments with MOAGG Technology for better measuring clearance near other guitar parts.
FretGuru 2: Up to 1.00" in .025" increments / up to 16mm in 1mm increments
Fret Height / Fret Wear Depth Notches
FretGuru XT: Notches from .025" to .055" for visual reference with MOAGG Technology for tactile feedback
FretGuru 2: Notches from .025" to .055" for visual reference
Extra-Thin Nut Slot Height Measuring Corner:
The thin corner is an engineering feat in itself, measuring just 0.0095” thick, which allows you to rest the gauge in any nut slot (as small as the high e-string, .010”) and then across to the second fret, so you can glide a feeler gauge between the gauge and 1st fret.
This helps you avoid tone-killing fret buzz and notes that pull sharp on the fret few frets.
FretGuru XT also includes a new on-gauge diagram and specs chart for easy referencing!
Inch/Metric Conversion Chart:
Etched on the back to save you time when working between SAE and metric parts.
Larger type on FretGuru XT for easier readability, thanks in part to its over 40% larger surface area!
Included Genuine Leather Protector Sleeve:
Expertly crafted and heavy-duty stitched for long-term durability.
A very premium addition, truly worthy of the heirloom-quality, precision tool it protects, which guarantees your investment lasts a lifetime.
Also features a pegboard hang hole and a classy hot-branded FretGuru logo.
