Nope.  After struggling through a couple of caliper-assisted re-strings that were also probably inadvertant re-scales, I bought a good micrometer.

I don't own a micrometer. Maybe I should. 

But my trusty caliper measures tuning pins, center pins, etc., very nicely. 

It's strings that give me trouble. I can measure the same string several times and get 2-3 thousands differences in the readings. I think it has to do with getting the wire exactly knowing perpendicular to the jaws and then knowing how much to "squeeze" with the thumb roller ... 

Anyone out there mastered the art of measuring strings with calipers?
