Extra-versatile files for fret end shaping

Concave Fret End Files


Read 1 Review   |   Write a Review

These unique tools are for use after the frets have been installed, trimmed flush to the sides of the neck, and the ends uniformly beveled with a flat file. They go a step beyond our popular Fret End Dressing File, adding a single-cut toothed concave filing surface. This makes smoothing the fret ends and delicately blending them into the crown of the fret more efficient. A professional touch, and a great fix for fret ends that protrude in dry weather, too.

Available in two sizes, for medium and wide frets.

Efficient design: Each file has a slim shape and 30-degree angled end, for good control and ease of use. The right tool for the job.

Concave surface: Single-cut teeth help blend the fret ends into the fret crown.
    Medium: .080" (2mm)
    Wide: .120" (3mm)

Safe surface: Opposite the concave edge is a flat, untoothed surface to protect the fretboard when you're filing with the side surfaces.

Toothed sides: The single-cut teeth on the sides file away metal burrs and help smooth the bevel on the fret ends.

Safe corners: Each file also has smooth untoothed corners to help prevent damage to the fingerboard and the upper edges of bound necks.

Each of these sturdy steel files is 7-7/8" long (similar files from other suppliers are only 3"), a practical length for filing fret ends without jamming the handle against the edge of the fretboard. Cutting surface length is 2-3/4". The file tang is rubber-coated for comfort.

Concave Fret End Files

Having worked around guitars for 30 years, I have continuously shopped at Stewart Macdonald and am always interested in investing in new and better tools so in trying out these fret end files, I found they work KILLER. They make short work of and do a stellar job quickly rounding off prickly burrs on freshly bevelled fret ends. What more can I say?-I love 'em.
