FretGuru Ultimate Fret End File 2 – Fix Sharp Fret Ends, Fret Sprout, Fret End Dressing File Pro Luthier Tool Guitar Tech [FINALLY AVAILABLE AGAIN – ADVANCED NEW DESIGN SHIPPING NOW]

Description

For years many of the world’s top luthiers have been hounding us to make more
of these.The original Ultimate Fret End File was just something I developed
for my personal workbench many years ago, as there was nothing else available
that was capable of the detail and accuracy I was looking for. The “problems”
all started when I decided to make an extra one for a luthier friend – who was
blown away by how well it worked, and could no longer do fretwork without
it.He then shared it with another luthier – who immediately asked me if I
could make 5 of them for the guys in his shop… and it just snowballed from
there. Since then I’ve made and shipped thousands of the original Ultimate
Fret End file all over the world – personally modifying each file by hand…
until it became physically impossible to do it anymore… my hands ache just
thinking about it. Over the past 5 years we’ve tried and tried to find a file
manufacturer who was capable (and willing) to create a file like this for us
and our fellow guitar geeks. China was out of the question. We actually tried,
and their attempts to create a Swiss quality file were… laughable. The only
way to make this happen was to go to the source. The only challenge? Two of
them actually: The first was the expense of having a custom file made by old-
world craftsman. The second was, one look at the level of detail and precision
in our file design, and they passed on it. We even got as far as prototype
samples, but they were just too complicated and costly to make. But we finally
stumbled upon a craftsman from one of Europe’s oldest and most respected file
makers who was willing to take on the challenge.The design and prototype
process has taken years and many revisions. They tell me these are the most
detailed and complicated files they’ve ever made.

Features:

• The most advanced and precision fret end dressing file available – designed from the ground up specifically for fret ends – this is your most effective weapon in the battle against sharp fret ends, " fret sprout ", and a must-have for a smoother, faster playing guitar that inspires you to play more often.
• Precision flat ground, diamond honed and polished bottom – so the file glides across your fingerboard without scuffing the wood, finish or binding. We've teamed up with one of Europe's oldest and most respected file makers to help us create this finely crafted file, then we put the finishing touches and final diamond hone and polish here in our shop. Definitely NOT made in China.
• Top of file has a smooth, safe ground edge, and the upper corners and tip are completely rounded and beveled to prevent damage to your fretboard and guitar. Also comes with a top quality, made in USA hardwood handle that feels comfortable in your hand, and takes the pain out of working on your frets.
• Innovative Double Ski-Tip design, to protect your guitar top from scratches and dings.
