Dress and Shape Sharp Fret Ends
Wood shrinks and frets don’t. This unfortunate truth is something all guitarists must contend with at one time or another. The dreaded “fret sprout” that occurs when your fingerboard shrinks in dry climates often results in sharp, jagged fret ends poking off the side of your neck, quickly sending your prized 6-string straight to the sidelines. Thankfully, MusicNomad’s MN830 Fret End Dressing File offers a quick, safe, and efficient solution to bring your fret ends back to flush with your fingerboard. This medical-grade stainless steel file sports diamond-coated cutting edges to smoothly shape fret ends without scratching or chattering. Moreover, Sweetwater’s Guitar Workshop luthiers love how this dressing file features two non-marring edges (one flat and one slightly radiused) to ensure the file’s abrasive portion never contacts your fingerboard. Trim fret sprout and polish your frets ends with MusicNomad’s MN830 Fret End Dressing File!
