This is a bundled fretwork and setup kit aimed at DIY luthiers rather than casual players. It covers the main jobs in a fret level and setup: an 8 inch stainless leveling beam, a crowning file, a fret rocker, action and feeler gauges, and understring radius gauges, plus a cork neck rest and a 3-in-1 string winder, cutter and pin puller. Compared with buying the tools one at a time, it saves the matching and sourcing work, but the tools are generic rather than brand-name luthier steel, so expect to check the beam for flatness and the file for cut quality. It suits someone doing their first few fret levels on their own guitars, not a pro shop that already owns better individual tools.

This all-in-one guitar setup kit is for luthiers, guitar technicians, and DIY enthusiasts who tune and maintain guitars. It covers fret leveling, fret crowning, and string height adjustment, in a repair shop or a home studio.
For fretwork, the kit has an 8 inch stainless steel fret leveling beam, a fret crowning file for shaping crowns, and a fret rocker that helps find uneven frets quickly. A string action ruler gauge and feeler gauges handle setup measurements. Nine understring radius gauges match the fretboard radius.
A cork neck rest cradle gives non-slip support to the guitar during work. A string spreader gives access to the fretboard without removing the strings. A 3-in-1 tool winds strings, cuts them, and pulls pins. A cleaning cloth, sanding block, and masking tape are included for upkeep.
