Best Guitar Tools of 2026

"I've tried several humidity control options for my guitars, but these packs are by far the simplest and most effective solution. I just place them in each case, and they consistently maintain ideal humidity. Plus, they last about three months, which is pretty impressive. I use two packs per guitar, and it's been a huge upgrade from my old methods."

"Living in a very dry region, I've always struggled to keep my guitars safe from drying out. Since discovering Boveda, it's become my go-to accessory for every new instrument. The packs are so convenient—no more fussing with wet sponges or worrying about water damage. I get a starter set for every guitar and feel confident my instruments are protected year-round."

"I was initially frustrated because the 49% packs didn't work in my high-humidity environment, but Boveda's customer service was excellent. They recommended their high-humidity packs instead, so I'll be trying those next. Even though it didn't work out at first, the support I received has made me optimistic about finding the right solution for my situation."

"I was genuinely surprised by how much value this kit offers. I managed to repair three different guitars and still had plenty of accessories left over to share. The tuner works well, and the whole set is perfect for anyone looking to get the most out of a small investment."

"As a self-taught guitarist, I appreciated the wide range of accessories included—multiple sets of strings, a digital tuner, a capo, and even chord cards that helped me expand my repertoire. The kit arrived ahead of schedule and was packaged securely. For the price, it’s unbeatable, and I’ve already decided to buy another as a gift."

"This kit is definitely budget-friendly and packed with practical tools for new players. While most items are straightforward to use, I did notice the strings felt a bit flimsy and were sometimes too short for certain guitars. Still, the rest of the accessories—especially the capo and chord charts—really add value for entry-level musicians."

"I found that this wrench is a perfect fit for my Martin truss rod. The build quality is impressive, and the length makes it easy to reach and adjust. Great value for the price."

"This tool is much easier to use than the standard short-handled Allen wrenches that usually come with guitars. The ergonomic handle makes adjustments so much more comfortable, and I appreciate that MusicNomad is helping DIYers with these handy tools."

"I used this on my Martin DRS2, and it did exactly what I needed with no hassle. Just make sure your guitar actually has a 5mm truss rod hole, as not all Martins do."

"I find this tool very accurate and simple to use. The etched markings are easy to read, and I appreciate that it's sturdy enough to last. It’s a great value for the price, especially compared to what I’ve seen at local stores."

"Every guitarist should have one of these! It’s compact, fits in my pocket, and comes with a protective sleeve. I rely on it for everything from adjusting string action to measuring nut and saddle height. For the price, it’s a no-brainer."

"I used this on my Yamaha FG401 acoustic and it was spot on for setting action after installing a new nut and saddle. The included case is handy, and it even helped me identify two high frets. Great multi-use tool for guitar setups."

"I bought this as a gift for my daughter who teaches music, and she absolutely loved introducing it to her students. It worked best after she replaced her old guitar strings with new ones, and then it performed beautifully."

"As someone who's new to using this, I find the sound really unique and cool, even though I'm still figuring out how to play with it. My family thinks it sounds good, and for the price, I think it’s worth it."

"I gave this to my husband, who is a guitar lover, and he’s been having lots of fun figuring it out. It’s a perfect gift for anyone who enjoys experimenting with different sounds on their guitar."

"I've finally found the perfect tool for guitar maintenance! After using makeshift neck rests, this stand’s dual height options and sturdy build make working on guitars—especially those with angled headstocks—so much easier. The price-to-performance ratio is unbeatable."

"This block is exactly what I needed—lightweight yet rugged, and it doesn’t leave any marks on my guitar’s neck. The two height settings are ideal for various jobs, and I feel confident my instrument is secure. Highly recommended for any guitar work."

"I even use this for my violin, and it’s the perfect height and stability for my needs when the shoulder rest is attached. It’s high quality and easy to handle—I’d definitely suggest it to other violinists."

"I use this on my Taylor 417 guitar tuned to DADGAD, and it completely eliminated those annoying high overtones coming from above the nut. It’s fantastic for cleaning up the sound and makes a real difference, especially for alternate tunings."

"As someone who hasn’t played in years, I tend to accidentally hit extra strings on my 6- and 7-string guitars. This fret wrap has helped me cut down on unwanted noise and sloppy playing. It’s not the cheapest option, but I appreciate its quality and adjustability. Even though it’s a bit bulky, it functions well and is easy to move around."

"I was skeptical at first, but after using the Ernie Ball fret wrap on my Fender Precision bass, I found it to be well-constructed, comfortable, and unobtrusive. While it didn’t really change my tone or sound, I can see it being useful for those who need extra muting, and I’d recommend it to anyone set on using a fret wrap."

"The matte black finish on this gauge makes it so much easier to read compared to my old silver one, and I no longer have to deal with any glare or reflections. The accuracy is spot on, and I appreciate the included extras like the case and clear instructions. It's a very functional and durable tool—definitely worth the purchase!"

"What really stands out to me is the sharp engraving and how clearly the measurements are marked. The conversion chart on the back comes in handy all the time. For the price, the quality and precision are excellent. I'd definitely purchase this again."

"The black background with light print makes this ruler easy to read. My first use was adjusting pickup height, which resulted in a noticeable improvement in my guitar's tone. If you're considering pickup upgrades, I recommend trying this gauge for adjustments first—it's a cost-effective solution."

"After struggling with the action on my Fender Strat, I decided to try this shim and it completely transformed my guitar. The 1mm shim fit perfectly and instantly solved my setup issues, making my guitar play better than ever. I highly recommend measuring your neck pocket for compatibility, but for me, it was the ideal solution."

"I compared this shim directly with the Stew Mac version and found that this one fit my guitar body much better without any modification. The quality and width are on par, but I didn’t have to alter anything. It’s a great alternative to pricier brands."

"These shims are well made and offer a much more accurate and tone-friendly solution than DIY methods like business cards. The installation process was simple, and I found them to be an excellent value compared to higher-priced options."

"As a beginner-to-intermediate guitarist, I’m really impressed by how clear and easy to read this laminated chord sheet is. The large poster size lets me glance back and forth between my guitar and the chart without any hassle or confusion. The personalized note from the seller made the whole experience feel special, and I can tell this will speed up my lessons. I’d recommend it to anyone serious about understanding guitar chords."

"I own both the guitar and ukulele charts and I find them exceptionally easy to read from a distance. The design is uncluttered, which makes it less intimidating for beginners. Plus, it was simple to hang up right out of the tube."

"This chart is a fantastic reference tool as I learn music theory. I appreciate that it's laminated and sturdy, so I can keep it clipped to my music stand at all times. The large print makes a big difference during practice."
