- Plastic/Nylon: Often found in fret rocker bases, string cutters, and polishing cloths for scratch resistance and gentle contact with the instrument's finish.
- Wood: Employed in nut files and sometimes polishing blocks for shaping and smoothing.
- Aluminum: Utilized for straight edges and rulers due to its lightweight and precision.
Purpose
The primary purpose of a guitar tool set is to facilitate:
- Setup: Adjusting string height (action), intonation, neck relief, and truss rod.
- Repair: Addressing minor damage such as loose hardware, cracked nuts, or fret buzz.
- Modification: Customizing the instrument with new pickups, tuners, or other components.
