Steely is a pocket-sized stainless steel string action gauge for guitars, basses and other stringed instruments with adjustable action. Etched and screen-printed metric and imperial markings provide a clear reference for checking string action, measuring string height as a reference for truss rod adjustments, and measuring pickup height where applicable. Inch-to-metric conversions and a 12th-fret string action reference chart are printed on the gauge, and a PU leather protective sleeve is included for storage and transport.
