Smooth corners protect the fretboard

3-Corner Fret Dressing Files

These special files are for those who prefer a traditional method of fret crowning. Their smooth corners won't leave scratches in the fretboard, and they're great for shaping the ends of the frets.

Sold individually or SAVE when you buy the set of all three fret dressing files.
