MusicNomad S-File Fret Crowning File MN850

Say no to black markers, constantly checking and worrying about overfiling. MusicNomad takes fret crowning to the next level with their game-changing, patent pending Safe Zone "S-File”, packed with unique features and benefits. It starts with the safe zone strip: there is no diamond grit at the top of the arch of the channel, eliminating the chance of overfiling. This Safe Zone filing design reduces the fret crowning learning curve from weeks to hours. Premium 240 diamond grit combined with the ideal filing radius design gives you the perfect cut every time.

The blue silicone comfort grip is a breakthrough and reduces hand fatigue like no other. The offset design provides both added leverage when filing and allows you to clear the guitar body when filing over it. It works perfectly for crowning the most popular & widely used fret wire material, Nickel Silver, found on all Acoustic Guitars, Banjos, Ukuleles and most Electric & Bass Guitars. As with any file, using on Stainless Steel fret wire will shorten the file life.

The S-File works on all fret sizes, has custom lines on the nose for spot crowning, a wide channel that is not too flat, a common complaint of other crowning files, a convenient hang hole, and so much more. Don't lose it or loan it, you'll look forward to the next time you crown your frets.
