Customer reviews about Maxparts BEF.03b Fret End File R3mm

S

Great file

SouledOut 22.07.2021

This file is for crowning jumbo frets but can be also used to dress your sharp frets any size. There is a thomann video on youtube that goes through how to dress your frets and they show this file and how to use it properly. So the video is a must watch for someone who is just getting started. The file is sharp so no need to press it like crazy against the frets, less is more.
All in all this file is priced fair (compared to other fret files), that cheap fret set is nothing compared to this and using this file you can crown and dress frets no problem.
Highly recommend this product.

Excellent

Sherby 05.04.2022

I used this to cure fret sprout on my HB JB-75MN NA Vintage bass. I followed the instruction on the excellent Thomann video. I've never done this before, and was amazed how easy it was and how good the result is. For this bass, it was the perfect tool for the job.

Expensive but good - in some cases

Barcelli 22.09.2021

If you need to secure your hands and fingers from being murdered by sharp fret ends this might be a tool for you. Watch the video on Youtube if you havent done this before and you will likely get a decent result.
But if your guitar has stainless steel frets it is going to be a pain in a certain place - fret file or not. At least you should be prepared to spend some time on it…. But for all other fret materials it works absolutely fine

Small, good, specialized.

Matias M. 10.11.2015

Great tool for fretwork. Highly specialized...has a concave file on the bottom, two flat files on the sides.

The way is built will ensure you don't damage your fretboard cause it has rounded edges all around the tool.

Super expensive for such a small tool though.

Incredibly useful

FrenchGuitaristReviews 30.12.2020

Really easy to use without damaging the fretboard or neck. Cheaper than having a luthier file your fret ends. I got the 2mm and 3mm versions. Probably will last me a lifetime.

Quality fret file

Hammer2021 12.09.2021

This is a solid tool with a quality feel. I used it (along with the other two sizes) to dress the frets on my old and worn strat. It worked well, was easy to use, and got the job done to my satisfaction.

Top quality tool that you will love

Sævar 02.05.2023

Yes, you can probably get something much cheaper on Amazon or AliExpress. But this is a file that will last you a lifetime, even if you are a luthier. You will love it, guaranteed. I wish I had bought one decades ago.
Keep in mind that there are three sizes. on this one the concave side is designed for medium jumbo to jumbo fret wire. However, flat sides have more general application. It has safe edges so you don't have to tape of your fingerboard if you just want to quickly fix fret ends that are poking out or some imperfections. This file is worth the price.
