Pinpoints high frets!
To pinpoint those pesky high frets, and check the final height after you've redressed or replaced them, reach for the Fret Rocker! Our 4-in-1 mini straightedge spans three frets and "rocks" to indicate uneven fret heights. Precision-machined for accuracy to .0015" per foot, the 4", 3", 2" and 1-5/16" edges make it versatile for any fretted instrument, from basses to guitars to mandolins.

It just plain works

Works just like the video says. Found the high fret, filed it, no more buzz. A must if you like low action.

Elegant Solution

Armed with this and a Sharpie, you can find any and all high frets (or _areas_ of frets) on an entire fretboard in not much more time than it is taking me to type this. Simple + incredibly effective = elegant solution.

Quit dithering and buy it.

I'm the kind of fellow who likes to get by with as few special-purpose tools as possible. This thing is an exception. Does exactly what it says it does and pays for itself the first time you use it. And if you ever want a rather unpleasant surprise, take this thing to the factory necks of some of the big-brand name and find out just how many high frets they have. You'll probably find at least two or three even on $1,000 plus instruments!

Fret Rocker

Thank you for the Fret Rocker. It arrived in Croatia in less time than you suggested, and on my set ups I'm already checking all my guitar' frets with this great tool! The Fret Rocker helps me maintain a fret buzz free`guitars with a lower action, and using it, I find that even new instruments suffer with a "raised Fret" or two, and the "Fret Rocker" is the tool that will find the offending high fret that you can simply "Tap" or "Smooth" down. Great invention! I sincerely thank your staff for the quick service you provided!

HEAVY USE

We use the Fret Rocker so much in my shop, we may actually be the first to wear one out!

If you don't have the means to measure fret height accurately through all phases of doing fret work, you simply cannot do an accurate job. We find the Fret Rocker is fast and easy to use and it's relatively inexpensive.

It's a GREAT tool to include in your tool box!

An Indispensable Tool

I purchased this fret rocker to replace an old similar tool that I have had for many years, unfortunately the older tool was only made of aluminium and had extensive wear to all the edges. I purchased this tool many years ago from Italy and over the years I have had the edges ground up on numerous occasions, but really this tool was well past it’s sell by date, hence the purchase of this tool. The quality of which, is what you have come to expect from Stewmac, it is top notch and as it is made from stainless steel and I will not have the same wearing problems than I did with the previous original tool, another first class product from Stewmac.
