Note Accuracy Analysis for Compensating Nut Design by ChrisAlsopGuitar. The graph show the % of deviaton from ideal. See our APPS for our online version of guitar intonation analysis. Check the intonation of your guitar with our interactive modeller. Input measurements from your own guitar and see the effect.
These have a diamond file with a permanently bonded oak handle. They are designed to be guided along the fretboard with the file cutting a level onto the tops, or crown, of the frets.
Fine Diamond files - which consist a coating of industrial diamonds embedded in a flat metal surface - give an extremely smooth finish and also have the advantage that they cut equally well in any direction of travel. This allows a back and forth motion to concentrate the abrasion on a particular area and keep the file always in contact with the fret, which helps achieve better accuracy of cut.
The default files are fine grit file, one 150mm long and one 75mm long.
Diamond files produce a very smooth finish on the frets - this property makes these files suitable for any type of fret shaping. Once the frets are level the flat tops on the frets need reshaping to regain the peaked crown. These files have all sharp edges ground off so can be guided along the fret to reshape the crown. As always, before using any type of abrasive tools on a guitar it is recommended suitable protection. Ideally use our ultra thin hardened steel protector strips (see our other items) to protect the fretboard and allow smooth motion of the file.
We have used Oak for this product as it is a strong and versatile wood used in hand tool handles for years. Beech is also nice for file handles and we make this item in Beech. The tool works equally well in almost any type of wood! Diamond Files are really the best surfaces developed by mankind for abrasion - the resulting surface is by far the smoothest hand filed surface possible - hence less finishing and polishing!
Also known as fingerboard protectors, these strips are made of spring steel. This means it will ALWAYS return to a flat shape. As the strips are only 0.1mm thick this allows maximum access to the frets.
