Get accurate string spacing without the use of complicated tools with this easy-to-use String Spacing Ruler. "Mark outer string locations with pencil lines (high and low E strings on guitars), usually about 1/8" in from fingerboard edges. Turn ruler over (use marked side). With wide spacing toward bass side, narrow spacing toward treble side, find group of marks (six for guitar) which best fit your two pencil lines. Use a razor knife or thin mechanical pencil to mark the string positions through the ruler's slots. Choose group of marks from the same set (closer or further from ruler's edge). If you mix marks from the two sets, strings will be irregularly spaced."

Very easy to use and cuts out all the measurements calculation that you would have to do.

On a telecaster nut. Using the widest spacing, still five strings between 1 and 6 (that's one more than you need on a six string ) Absolutely useless on any of my eleven guitars and forget about even thinking about using this on a bass. And very thin and flimsy. Otherwise a nicely made piece.

Worked Ok but have to be very careful how you handle it or store it. Will bend easily. As long as you know that & treat it gently your good to go. I store it in my neck level tube.

Was slightly bent, but I was able to correct it without too much trouble. Worked as described.

I tried eyeballing, and this is much better! The spacing "tapers" as you move along the scale, so you can find an even-tempered spacing that matches your existing nut, or change the spacing, as you desire, all while keeping each string properly spaced from the strings on either side. My first use was on a nylon-stringed classical guitar, and this spacing ruler worked, perfectly, to provide the exact spacing of the original, worn nut. It says to use a mechanical pencil, which probably works a treat, but I used a very sharp No. 2, and had no issues.Excellent tool, excellent price, and very good service!

It came in a big box so it couldn't get damaged. took a little bit to find the string spacing I wanted but that's because I spread them out more than normal. spaced everything perfectly the way i wanted them, now i have to set up the rest of my guitars with it.
