FretGuru Fret Crowning File – Diamond Dagger Fret File Crowning Tool – The Guitar Luthier Tool for Ultra Precise Frets on Electric, Acoustic, and Bass Guitars - MD, LG, XL Frets
9.6

Exceptional

Main highlights

Uncompromising craftsmanship: Designed with the highly accurate and easy to control cutting geometry and beveled inner and outer edges of the Dagger 2.0, the Diamond Dagger fret file crowning tool prevents grooves in your frets and scarred fingerboards while achieving perfect fret centerlines and a relatively smooth fret finish that’s easy to polish out. Like the Dagger 2.0, it prevents damage to the guitar body by allowing maximum file and finger clearance over the guitar body, switches, and pots as you move up the neck. In most cases, there’s no need to mask off your fingerboard
Made for most guitars: The Diamond Dagger fret crowning file is the ideal size and shape for modern 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)
Diamonds are a guitar geek’s best friend: Harder, sharper, and more abrasive than ordinary fret crowning files, The Diamond Dagger brings its revolutionary design and wear-resistant technology to fret crowning. It’s engineered with the same advanced D.I.A. geometry, and precision features of the groundbreaking FretGuru Dagger 2.0 but in a diamond version that many experienced luthiers and passionate guitar tweaking enthusiasts prefer. The diamond grit filing edges cut on both the forward and back stroke and are less prone to clogging with sticky nickel silver fretwire debris. They may also provide more wear resistance with hard fret materials like stainless steel and Evo gold fretwire
Comfortable ergonomic grip: The unique 4-sided design of the Diamond Dagger fret crowning file reduces fatigue and the contoured handle allows for many different and comfortable, easy-to-grip filing angles and approaches. The rounded filing section on what would normally be the handle end gives you the benefit of effortless wrist action and precisely targeted fret crowning while also letting you drop in over the top of that Les Paul toggle switch to get at those upper frets. All that, and exquisite craftsmanship that can’t be touched by the typical Chinese factory
Banish the buzz: Avoid school bus roof shaped frets that can degrade your tone and volume and cause string rattle and intonation problems. The Diamond Dagger leaves a rounded yet clearly defined fret crown for accurate intonation, pure tone and “foreva” sustain. Both the Diamond Dagger and Dagger 2.0 are professional grade tools that meet the demanding needs of the professional luthier yet so comfortable, easy, and intuitive to use even a beginner gets superb results
