Best Choice01FretGuruFretGuru Guitar Fret Crowning File - Dual Sided Dagger 2.0 - MD and LG/XL - Ideal for Frets between .080" to .110" wide - Professional Luthier Tool for Electric, Acoustic and Bass Guitars
Main highlights- Prevent Damage to Your Frets and Fretboard - with the Dagger’s exclusive smooth beveled, contoured edges. The angled cutting surfaces and ergonomic handle are balanced and comfortable, helping to reduce hand fatigue, and also preventing damage to your guitar body by allowing maximum file and finger clearance over the guitar body, switches and pots as you move up your guitar neck. In most cases there’s no need to mask off your fingerboard.
- For Professional Luthiers, Guitar Techs, Hobbyists and Beginners - The Dagger file is precise, advanced and durable enough to satisfy the most demanding professional luthier, yet so comfortable, easy and intuitive to use that even a first-time beginner can get superb results. Regular fret crowning, repair, maintenance and polishing has never been more comfortable, fast and easy. BEWARE of Dagger Shaped Fakes when buying!
- Faster Cut, Smoother Finish - The Dagger’s exclusive D.I.A. (Dual Integrated Arc) design gives you greater cutting control, perfect fret centerlines and a finer fret finish. It’s sharp enough to quickly bring the sides of the fret up to a clearly defined center, without worrying about accidentally taking too much off the top. Some of our customers have even called it foolproof.
- Designed For Most Guitars - This dual-sided fret crowning file is the ideal size and shape for acoustic and vintage electric guitars (MD or LG side), as well as modern electric guitars, or those with jumbo and super jumbo frets (LG or XL side), up to about 110”-112” wide maximum (aka Dunlop 6100). For huge monster frets, we have a “Mega” version of the Dagger 2.0 file coming soon. Use with FretGuru’s Precision Fret Leveling Beam for best performance.
- Avoid School Bus Roof Shaped Frets and Their Tone Destroying Effects - Precisely leveled and crowned frets are the very foundation of a great sounding guitar. Worn, grooved, flattened frets will rob you of tone, volume, while doing a number on intonation. Our professional grade crowning file was created with file masters in the heart of Europe to fix these issues. Made from high carbon European tool steel with razor-sharp teeth to deliver a clean, ready-to-be-polished cut every time.
