Fret Finishing & Dressing File

You need a steady hand to operate and while the file looks very smooth it certainly can remove material. Finished result is great and I certainly recommend, just be prepared to tape up your instrument!

Lovely file, will be getting all of the fret and but files from Crimson. Not necessarily cheap but worth every penny

I used the file for the first time on my sons’ new Squier Sonic Mustang. The fret ends were quite sharpish. The file worked wonders, the slightly rounded flat side of the blade protected the fretboard satisfyingly. Do pay attention to which side faces the fretboard. While both sides of the blade are free of the abrasive cutting teeth/rows, one side is dead flat, a 90 degree angle to the filing surface, the other one is slightly rounded. The rounded side prevents you from cutting into the fretboard, while the other side gives the opportunity to reach the smallest remaining tangs. Highly recommended!
