good stuff

Great for polishing slots but tend to break easily.

Nice finisher

They were great for removing the burrs from the metal. They did break easily...that's my only critisism.

Nut slots & saddles are smoother than ever

After years of using pencil graphite in nut slots and dealing with rough bridge saddles, this abrasive cord has become an essential finishing touch during nut installation and setups. Strings now glide through the nut without 'pinging' and no longer break on sharp bridge saddle slots.

No complaints

Polishing the nut slots with the abrasive cord stopped the slot pinching the string.

Great idea, but fragile

I purchased the thinnest, .015" version. Works great to finish off TOM bridge slots, but prone to breakage. May not be as big an issue with the larger diameter versions. Great idea, and works well-- I'll try a larger diameter next time.

Great tool

It really makes the difference on plain strings nut notches, especially on brass nuts, where even a good file can leave a bur.
