Rex, Like many other custom made tools, it may not appear in their catalog, but I have consistently seen it for sale by Renner USA at conventions. BTW, whether you use a string height gauge per se or one of the tape measures with windows, I find greater accuracy possible in recreating string heights on the work bench by using two of whatever you are using. That way you can set the target at one end of a section and leave your "whatever" there while setting the other end (since adjusting one end will often change the height at the other end). Clear as mud?

Yes, the only non-metric measurements Itake these days are things most readily measured in thousandths of an inch,such as center pins and piano wire.
