Say no to black markers, constantly checking and worrying about overfiling, MusicNomad takes fret crowning to the next level with our game-changing patent pending Safe Zone "S-File". Packed with so many unmatched features and benefits, we can't even list them all here. It starts with our safe zone innovation that has no diamond grit at the top of the arch of the channel, eliminating the chance of overfiling...YES!!! Our Safe Zone filing design reduces the fret crowning learning curve from weeks to hours. Our premium 240 diamond grit combined with the ideal filing radius design gives you the perfect cut every time. Let's talk handle design!! Our inventive blue silicone comfort grip is a breakthrough and reduces hand fatigue like no other.
The offset design provides both added leverage when filing and allows you to clear the guitar body when filing over it. It works amazing for crowning the most popular & widely used fret wire material, Nickel Silver, found on all Acoustic Guitars, Banjos, Ukuleles and most Electric & Bass Guitars. As with any file, using on Stainless Steel fret wire will shorten the file life. The S-File works on all fret sizes, has custom lines on the nose for spot crowning, a wide channel that is not too flat, a common complaint of other crowning files, a convenient hang hole, and so much more. Don't lose it or loan it, you'll look forward to the next time you crown your frets. That's MusicNomad quality, bringing fret care to the next level.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES & BENEFITS: It works amazing for crowning the most popular & widely used fret wire material, Nickel Silver, found on all Acoustic Guitars, Banjos, Ukuleles and most Electric & Bass Guitars. As with any file, using on Stainless Steel fret wire will shorten the file life. Stainless Steel is used on a small percentage of Electric and Bass Guitars. Check the manufacturer's fret specification. Our exclusive nose design features two lines for spot fret crowning. Position the line to be 90 degrees(straight up) from the frets and you will just be filing right where the line intersects with the fret. It's so simple but functional. Our high quality manufacturing process includes radiused & beveled edges along the entire perimeter for the comfort and safety of your fretboard.
Great, the file I've been looking for. Perfect to use on all the guitars I have. No more fret problems.

Precision and Quality in One Tool
The MusicNomad S-File Fret Crowning File from American Musical Supply is an absolute game-changer. It’s super comfortable to use, and the diamond-coated surface makes crowning frets easier than I ever imagined. The tool cuts smoothly and accurately, so I don’t have to worry about overdoing it.
