For the perfect fret job

Fret levelling, which is commonly called a fret job, is one of the most important jobs that are necessary to properly set up, maintain, or fine-tune a guitar, because the frets must all have the exact same height and profile in order to achieve a consistent tone and ensure that every single note sounds impeccable. But the work doesn't stop there – the sharp, protruding fret ends need to be dealt with next, and that is exactly where the MusicNomad Fret End Dressing File comes in: This basic yet important tool has been specially developed to include quite a few clever features that allow sharp edges and corners to be perfectly smoothed and rounded so that the player can barely feel the fret ends with their fretting hand.

Fingerboard protection included

The MusicNomad Fret End Dressing File is destined for the challenging job of deburring and rounding the sharp edges of fret ends after bevelling. Utmost care must be taken to ensure that the fret material is precisely removed without damaging the fingerboard. To this end, the innovative Fret End Dressing File features a pair of diamond-coated cutting surfaces on opposite sides and a pair of smooth non-cutting surfaces on the other sides. However, everyone who has done this job before knows that such a file can still damage the wooden fingerboard as soon as it is slightly angled downwards to work on the tops of the fret ends. This is now a whole lot easier - and safer - thanks to the MusicNomad Fret End Dressing File, which features not only a flat but also a radiussed smooth surface, the latter of which simply needs to be facing downwards to prevent the fingerboard from being damaged even when filing in an angled position.

For professional results

The MusicNomad Fret End Dressing File is primarily aimed at users who are skilled with their hands and have a very good eye for detail, such as professional guitar techs or seasoned hobby techs who know exactly what they are doing. Everyone who has worked with a similar product before, no matter for how long, will be thrilled by the sheer number of unmatched features and advantages offered by the Fret End Dressing File and immediately put it at the top of their wish list. This premium file with a universal design is eminently suitable for guitar builders and service technicians who frequently work on all types of fret wire material from brass to stainless steel, and a wide range of electric and acoustic guitars or basses, mandolins, ukuleles, or banjos.

About MusicNomad

MusicNomad was founded by Rand Rognlien, a specialist for automotive paint care products and a passionate hobby musician. When he launched the MusicNomad web portal in 2008 to build a network for himself and his fellow musicians along the lines of Facebook, he needed a strategy to raise the necessary funds. That was when Rand's extensive professional expertise came into play and he started to develop professional instrument care products for all kinds of materials and surfaces, from lacquer and metal to bare wood, which he soon complemented by a selection of special tools. Since then, MusicNomad has become a household name in music communities in over 50 countries worldwide and is the preferred choice of numerous renowned guitar manufacturers, such as Taylor Guitars and Martin Guitars.

In the comfort zone

The diamond-coated Fret End Dressing File from MusicNomad is destined for the fourth stage of the fret job. After levelling and crowning the fret tops as well as bevelling the fret ends, users must precisely file the extremely sharp, protruding fret ends with the utmost care to create a smooth, rounded profile. This step is crucial in determining how comfortable the fingerboard feels after a fret job: The more rounded the fret edges, the greater the playing comfort for the guitarist. Thanks to its innovative design, which incorporates two polished, smooth sides and a rounded profile on all of the four edges to prevent damage to the fingerboard, the Fret End Dressing File ensures fast yet safe and accurate filing of all types of fret ends.

der Griff ist sehr unergonomisch

Gitarrenbauer 20.10.2024

Ich komme mit dieser Feile leider nicht klar. Der Griff ist sehr unhandlich und der Feilenbereich zu weit von der Hand entfernt. Das Produkt kommt zudem aus China. Zudem finde ich, dass die Körnung feiner sein könnte.

Scharfe Bundkanten

KlangAlchemist 12.08.2024

Wenn man die Bewegung beim Feilen drauf hat, werden Bundkanten hervorragend entschärft.

Lime frettes MusicNomad

Alexandre.F 26.10.2024

Superbe lime, solide.
Je l'ai utilisée sur toutes mes guitares pour arrondir mes bords de frettes, le boulot est bien fait.
Les deux côtés plats (droit et arrondis) respectent la touche pour ne pas la marquer.
