  • Designed by our Sonoma, CA team and in collaboration with top repair techs, the E-File sets a new higher standard for what you should expect when you buy a Fret End Dressing File. The perfect solution to fix fret sprout & sharp fret ends by deburring, shaping, smoothing and rounding.
  • Unlike common toothed fret end files, our exclusive design features medical grade stainless steel with a 280 grit Diamond Coated cutting surface that allows for even, smooth and precise filing that both cuts and polishes simultaneously. Premium diamonds are applied to two sides of the file.
  • It works amazing for dressing all fret material types, including stainless steel. The fully rounded & polished tip protects from damaging your guitar.
  • We designed the file with two types of non-marring safe edges to enhance functionality. One safe edge is perfectly flat and polished smooth. The other safe edge (identified with an arrow on the handle) is slightly radiused and polished smooth. In addition, all four corners are slightly rounded to avoid damage to the fretboard.
  • The handle's well balanced & user-centered ergonomics are like no other. It features a double row of thumb and finger grips with smooth transitions to naturally fit in your hand. The high quality textured rubber grip's tactile feedback enhances comfort and control for all fine detail and precision fret end work. It even includes a convenient hang hole for storage.

This is a great file that is easy to use and did make a big difference in an acoustic guitar I had that had fret ends I thought could be smoother. The handle is ergonomic and two sides of the file are totally smooth, as is the tip, so you realize can’t damage your guitar as you use it. Just make sure to watch some videos so you get the angle right - you’re not supposed to file it flush. Also, they put an arrow on the handle to let you know which file side is the coarser side, but to be honest I found it confusing because the arrow pertains to how you’re holding the handle when it should have just pointed to the coarser side itself. It’s technically pointing towards one of the totally smooth “safe” sides. Music Nomad also sells a B-File with the wooden handle but that is really more for actual fret sprout, not smoothing out fret ends.

This is well thought out tool, essentially similar to other fret files. The innovation here is the handle, which would be great on a screwdriver, but since filing fret ends is a delicate business, I found I got better and more precise results my with my Stew Mac file which is smaller and held with your fingertips. I also found I could sense how much I was taking off the fret better with the conventional teeth of the Stew Mac file vs. the diamond surface on this file.Still, this is good tool and not overhyped like some other Music Nomad stuff. If you need a fret end file this is a perfectly good choice.

Worked outstanding to file the ends of the frets without damaging guitar. No more catching edges. Great price and great tool.

I use this in conjunction with the MusicNomad frets beveling tool, and they do an excellent job of getting the frets to ideal condition that's comfortable to play. The safety feature with the smooth sides makes it easier to use as you don't have to worry about accidentally taking off too much of the fretboard material.

Not the evenest coating or finest as it’s a bit coarse but it worked well enough and I was able to polish scratches out without taking too much extra time. For the money though I would say it was worth the cost as compared. Just not sure I couldn’t have done the same with a set of regular small files.
