Groobar Nut Slotting Depth Gauges - Set of 4

How to use:
1) Place a Groobar on the fingerboard surface against the nut
2) Use a short straightedge, Fret Rocker or String Action gauge to sit on the Groobar and the 2nd fret
3) Look for a small gap between the straightedge and the 1st fret. If no gap is present use a thicker Groobar
4) Use a nut file to file the slot. When the file goes down to the Groobar it will make a noise and the black will be scratched - stop filing
5) Repeat on all nut slots (different thickness Groobars can be used for different strings)
6) Fine tune nut slots when strings are fitted if needed
