D’ADDARIO ACCESSORIES LAUNCHES ALL-IN-ONE STRING HEIGHT GAUGE
D’Addario Accessories is excited to announce their new tool for the perfect guitar set up - the D’Addario String Height Gauge. The D’Addario String Height Gauge is an all-in-one tool to help you set up your guitar with the highest possible level of precision. Made of stainless steel, this durable tool helps you easily measure the height of your strings and pickups, neck relief, and other critical measurements. With access to these measurements all in one place, getting your guitar into its best playing form has never been easier.
The D’Addario String Height Gauge included US and metric sizes and is made of stainless steel construction, available April 1 at $14.00 MSRP.
D’ADDARIO CINCHFIT NOW AVAILABLE FOR TAYLOR GUITAR
D’Addario Accessories is excited to add a CinchFit Acoustic Jack Lock that is made specifically for Taylor guitars (Expression System).
Endpin jacks are notorious for creating hassles when applying and removing standard guitar straps, and usually require modification to the strap which results in a less-than-desirable fit. With CinchFit, players now have a fast and easy solution for attaching their strap to acoustic guitars with endpin output jacks.
The Acoustic Cinch Fit loops through the end of any instrument strap, and its magnetic security clasp makes sure it stays in place. The cinch clamping action also allows easy application and removal, utilizing the weight of the instrument to remain locked onto the endpin so the guitar is always held securely. And with no strap modification required, now you can easily attach any strap to acoustic endpin jacks.
The CinchFit Acoustic Jack Lock for Taylor will be available April 1 and retails for $19.95.
