It looks like a whole other world.... https://www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/Types_of_Tools/
Oh, it actually is - the accuracy level of frets installation is one of the reasons why some guitars are drastically more expensive than pretty similar looking analogs. It directly influences guitar’s ability to sound nice to untrained ear and have a close to perfect pitch for the advanced listeners. See, it’s physically impossible for guitars and some other fretted instruments to have a perfect pitch at every fret due to its design - opposite to the piano, for example...
Dream. Wish. Leave nothing undone. Repeat.

Unless you have one of those ones with the funny frets...

I was just reading last night about how the manufacturers don't bother setting up lower-end guitars properly these days.

I’ve got a Tele, so never really messed with tremolo setup, but this might be helpful

The tools for sliding down in doors are called slim jims - but this isn't one of those.


You do use it for breaking and entering though.....

I'd say more like a torque wrench for lock picking than a pick itself

It's about 30cm long (or 12" )

with one you would be expected to know your bridge from your brace.

I apologise for the veiled language....

Something to do with records I think. It's not a turntable protractor though.
