Hey there fellow luthiers, guitar players and tinkerers,

We now offer all of the direct-from-the-workshop tools and supplies that we've developed and been using here for years.

Another pro quality item we've made available to you is the

Ultimate Fret End File.

This is the only file designed from the ground up to ONLY do fret ends.

**Update** If you check out the feedback on these you'll find that people are loving them -

In fact, Fender just purchased a bunch of these for the shop.

Even so, we've gone ahead and made numerous refinements:

• A wider bottom surface so it glides even more smooth and stable on the fingerboard.
• Longer, thicker handle for better comfort and control.
• Longer cutting surfaces so it is even more versatile and can be used at more different angles.

We originally made this after years of frustration with the underwhelming standard tools used for the purpose. Well after so many people asking for these, we finally got around to making a batch for you.

The biggest challenge I have with the typical "fret end file" - just a modified 1/16" wide by 1/8 tall "Pilar" file - is they tend to topple over.

A pilar file is one where the narrow edge is ground "safe" (no teeth) so it can ride along a surface without damaging it. This may sound ok so far, but since the corner of the file where the safe-ground bottom meets the side teeth is so sharp AND narrow, when it topples over,

it can very quickly dig a groove right next to the fret end. 1/16" is just not wide enough to create a stable platform to ride along the fingerboard surface.

It is difficult to capture the details of the Ultimate Fret File in the pics below. Most of them were taken while looking through the magnifier lamp over my bench - My camera's not great, and a photographer I'm not... bear with me :-)

This file features:

• 1/8" wide safe ground edge, which is double the width/platform of the usual file. Far safer for your fingerboard - especially maple.
• Safe ground top edge with rounded corners, so you don't gouge the fingerboard as you go up and over the top of the fret end to the other side.
• "Ski Tip" end with rounded corners - great for working on the frets over the guitar body without scratching or denting the finish or wood.
• Double-cut teeth, for clean consistent cutting in any direction.
• Swiss-made, super-high quality! These will give you years of service.

These are super-precision tools, and should be treated as such - not just thrown in the toolbox, so we include a cool protective, re-useable carrying case.

We have these in very limited supplies - they won't last long, so grab yours now. Unkown text block

**UPDATE**

For higher value international orders like the one above, we highly recommend going with USPS Priority International shipping.

It's slightly more, but it comes with tracking, unlike First Class - where if your package gets lost or delayed, neither you or I will be able to find it. With Priority, it will get there safely and quickly, and we can track where it is. If you choose first class, it will most likely get there, but I CAN NOT be responsible for it once it leaves here.

Just purchase what you need, and I can give you an exact shipping quote.
