As with all of my other Stew/Mac purchases, this one is top notch and a must have for any serious repairman, technician, or Luthier.

We use this and many other Stew/Mac tools during manufacturing and setups on all of our Sterling by Music Man and B.C. Rich guitars and basses.

I bought this file hoping to cure behind-the-nut ringing of the g string due to a bad slot on a strat. The file worked great but the string rings worse now. Maybe an added tree would do it.

I bought this to complete my nut file set. I expected a rigid back - this is very flexible as, of course, it is very thin. It should be fine for the job but will require careful handling.

These work great. Just take you time, and protect the bridge and the pickup covers.

You can get cheaper ones, but they are also inferior

Hard, (if not impossible } to top these radiused files! Been using the 10's to 56's for umpteen years but due to Bass work increasing, decided to stop "Wallering" my slots, bite the $$ bullet, and get three of the larger sizes, ie: 65, 85, and 105. Haven't used them as yet, but am SURE that the ever-consistent Stewmac excellence will be found in these as well!

I tried all the alternatives (needle files, welding tip files and folded sandpaper) but, the nut files are the only way to do the job right! Do cheat yourself, get the files and go nuts!

I found these files to be just what I needed I am pleased with my purchase

i bought a set of these to convert a european bass that had a light set of string to medium flat wounds. a few swipes in the nut slot with these and i was good to go.

I made the mistake of buying a low priced made in China nut file set. After ruining a nut and getting frustrated. I decided to do what I knew I should of done the first time. I bought a high quality set of files that will last a lifetime and will have resale value if I should need to sell them. Just by using them on two of my guitars they have paid for themselves. Buy them if you want to do the job right.
