StewMac Fret End Dressing File - Professional Luthier Guitar Repair Tool - Fix Sharp Frets & Fret Sprout Fast - For Rounding, Shaping, and Smoothing Frets (1175)

Great tool! Works very well filing the sharp fret ends.Worth the price!Thanks!

I have used this for a few minutes only but it works really well. It's smaller than what i expected, in pictures it looks larger. It's just s a file, what more can it be? I thought. Actually it's a really good fret file, use light pressure and gauge how things are doing, this thing is like a hot knife through butter. The quality is really good imo. The plain file areas protect the fretboard but you still have to be careful, next time i will try to use masking tape a bit.

I got this to dress the fret ends on my Ibanez AF95FM archtop guitar. The fret ends were a little sharp and this smoothed out the ends perfectly while not damaging the fretboard binding. Yes, it's not cheap but it's worth the price.

Very easy to use and resolved issue with sharp fret end that would catch string. File shape and size perfect for fixing sharp frets without causing any damage (can also tape off areas to further protect guitar). Had recently got frets dressed at a shop but one fret was still sharp. This file allowed me to resolve on my own and not have to take guitar into the shop again.

There is definitely a learning curve, at least for me, in figuring the best way to use the file. I've watched videos where people make fret dressing look easy. It's not. It takes muscle memory to use any file correctly and effectively. Fortunately this file is very fine and doesn't remove alot of material quickly. However, if while you are dressing fret ends and you slip just a bit, the file can leave pretty significant scratches in top of frets. It cost me more work getting those scratches out with fine sandpaper and fret erasers. Great file, but be very careful and don't apply much pressure. ♪

Easy to use and clean. Works faster than I thought it would. Overall great quality and is pretty comfortable to use

When this came in I was a little taken aback by how small it it (the size of a small crochet needle). Once I started to use it on the guitar I bought it for I saw the genius of the tool. It works great, it took care of a highly neglected guitar that was left in a garage in Arizona. The tool took care of that vicious fret sprout (even the tang was poking out). So I was able to use this for the first time and get the neck feeling great! The guitar is beat up (I love the Urban Decay vibe of it) but doing this for the first time was not only successful, but my amateur work actually lends itself to the overall vibe. Definitely can recommend this, it's Stew Mac after all, it's what the Pros use!😉👍✨

Costs more than other similar products, but you know the old saying... you get what you pay for. Good quality fret end dressing file sold by a well respected, reputable company, Stewmac. Buy the best from the best.
