Guitar Repairing Maintenance Tool Kit, Complete Pro Guitar Setup Kit Luthier Repair Tools with Guitar Work Mat and Neck Rest Support Cradle for Guitar Workstation Musician Enthusiast Guitarist

Husband was very surprised and pleased with this gift

Pretty extensive tool kit. Some decent tools some not. Overall very good kit and you can do pretty much whatever is necessary. I do wish there was some literature because there were tools I did not know the use for.

The quality of the tools varies, but for the most part, these are pretty good. I like the needle files, the string spreaders, the nut wrench, the neck gauges, the pocket truss rod wrenches, the two string height cards, the fret rocker, the straight edge, the leveling bar, and the carrying case. The various string cleaners are not all that useful unless you are a touring musician and sweat heavily on your guitar nightly. For most players, they are just filler. The masking tape is useless as it's only slightly wider than a fret wire. Some graphite/nut lube would have been a nice addition, or even some fretboard oil. I'm also a little annoyed by the slew of loose hex wrenches; a small set of heads for the screwdriver would have been nicer.All that said, if you are just a hobbyist (as am I), this is a great way to get some workable tools to do minor luthiery at home. It will give you a basis to decide what, if anything, you need to get better versions of.

Not the highest quality material, but totally effective for Guitar maintenance without breaking the bank.

Overall, this is one of the most comprehensive kits I have seen. The tools are not just cheap copies of better tool, but can actually be used in guitar maintenance. It comes with just about everything you need to get started. I am happy with the kit and I would get it again.

really nice stuff

The media could not be loaded. This is a great variety of tools for a musician interested in doing some of their own maintenance on a guitar. These tools can be found in many guitar books and on videos for guitar maintenance. The kit if very complete.I really like the included screwdriver. It has a standard and Philips head, and it can telescope in and out, from a stubby length, to an extra reach length. Very handy.I already found a problem on one of my guitar necks. I used the "fret rocket", quadrilateral tool, to identify a high fret. The fret file was able to smooth it down to match the other frets.I recommend this to anyone looking to get started in guitar maintenance. A person can fine tune their guitar to their own liking. This is an excellent value.

If you own one or more guitars (or basses) and you are interested in getting started doing your own repair or setup work, you can certainly do worse than starting with a tool set like this. The components in this kit, while not top quality, are certainly adequate and will get the job done. If you get more serious in your quest to become a guitar tech, you may want to replace some of these tools with higher quality brands, but these should suffice for most of us.At first glance, the current price on Amazon of about $130 may seem a little high. But if you were to price out the individual components of this kit at suppliers like StewMac or Music Nomad, the price could easily be two or even three times the price of this kit. Plus, this kit is pretty comprehensive and provides nearly everything that you need to get started.I have been playing bass and guitar for over 50 years and have always done setup, repair, and modifications to my own instruments. As a result, I have accumulated a number of the tools that are in this kit. Plus, as a do-it-yourselfer and garage mechanic, I have a large number of mechanical tools at my disposal. But I still felt this kit could fill in some blanks in my collection.The Amazon listing contains a very comprehensive list of the items in this kit along with a good description of their function, so there is no point trying to duplicate that information in my review. However, here are a few notes on some of the items that I thought would be of interest.• Guitar Neck Notched Straight Edge - This should work on most standard size guitars, but will probably not fit your bass. Not a criticism, just something to keep in mind if you play bass.• Guitar Feeler Gauge – This is a standard, off-the-shelf mechanic’s feeler gauge set. Nothing wrong with that; it will work just fine. It does, however, have some oily residue on it that shouldn’t get anywhere near a guitar. A thorough cleaning with brake parts cleaner or alcohol is in order before you start using it.• Guitar Nut Slotting File Set – This is a standard, off-the-shelf welding torch tip cleaner set. Again, noting wrong with that. It is a well-known hack for guitar nuts. In fact, I have a set like this from my welding cart that I have used for my guitar work. Just be aware of where is came from so you will understand the strange sizing information on the set.• Guitar Pocket Truss Rod Wrench (6.35 & 7 & 8mm) – If 6.35mm seems like an odd size, that’s because it is equivalent to ¼-inch.• Carrying Case – This little zipper case will hold some, but certainly not all, of the tools in this kit. Also, it looks like the maker of this kit acquired off-the-shelf case as opposed to designing one specifically for the tools included. The tools are kind of stuffed into this case and are difficult to keep organized.In addition to the last item mentioned above, the larger items in the kit (fret leveling beam, notched straightedge, etc.) can not physically fit in the zipper case. I am using the cardboard box that the set came in for storage until I figure out something more permanent.Despite this, I still think this kit is a good value, especially if you are just starting out setting up and repairing your own guitars.
