At first I tried to cheap out and use welding tip cleaners to make some adjustment to my telecaster nut. I should have just started with these. After literally an hour of "filing" with the tip cleaners, I gave up and ordered this file set. They shipped very quickly and had my nut set perfectly within MINUTES. I was initially put off by the price, now I have zero buyers remorse. Highly Recommended!

If you do any kind of work with nuts these are a must have. Makes the job quicker and more exact. After fooling around with some cheap files from Amazon I ordered these and after using them wish I had used them from the start.

I’m a beginner at building and set ups. I had gotten a couple kits to build and the one I got from stew Mac was good but the one I got from The Fretwire, though overall was good quality, had an insanely high nut. I spent days trying to get the action right and building it and I just had an unplayable guitar. It couldn’t be done without filing the nut slots. Maybe I coulda gotten cheap files but it would have taken forever and the files would have ruined. I bit the bullet and got the expensive stew Mac ones and I’m really glad I did. Every gauge was clearly laid out. I did one string slot a little tiny bit at a time and the job was done in less than 20 minutes. Now my guitar plays great and I still have a set of quality files for my next job which will be soon since I got the builders bug. Thanks!

Making a nut without these files...well, mine turned out as bad as the one I was replacing,got the files and the second attempt went much better.I wouldn't try another one without these files.

I'd been using homemade tools to perform this function for some time (to save money), but felt they weren't quite as precise or as consistent as they probably could have been. Finally bought a set of these and wasn't disappointed. It makes the job easier since they are the perfect tool for the job. Striaght, even cut on every stroke gives you confidence in how much you're taking off of the nut. Worth the money if you'll use them even a few times. If you build guitars, you're going to need a set.

A bit pricy but they work the way they are supposed to. So not having to fight with the tools and making good cut is worth the money

I usually use the needle files for the nut work and they always took forever; I thought that was just the name of the game for slotting nuts. I bought this set to give them a try and it works sooo much better and is faster. Like 10 times as fast. Awesome stuff
