Guitar Fret End Dressing File by Uo-Chikyu Hiroshima

I am a busy guitar tech so I get many guitars with fret sprouts and sharp fret ends. I lost my strewmac fret end file and found this one while looking for replacement and decided to try it because good reviews and less money than strewmac. Anyway, it works great. Better than strewmac. I definitely recommend 👍👍

This file isn’t crazy sharp, let’s an amateur shape fret ends without removing too much material. This may drive a pro luthier crazy, but it worked well for me, allowed me to develop a technique that worked for my project.

Great for the price

Precision ground on good steel. It’s tall and skinny, which is different than the square file I’m used to, but it works very well.

Decent fret end file but you have to know how to do it

Very nice file. A couple strokes is all it takes to knock the sharp edges off on a new fret job or a new neck. Versatile tool and well made. The smooth edges of this file are perfect - to prevent marring the fretboard while you work. You'll be pleased with how quickly you can do the job with this file.

Excellent quality fret end dressing file. Thin sides edges have no teeth so as to protect neck. One is totally flat and the other slightly convex which works out perfectly to get right down to where the fret meets the neck. It is a small file and takes considerable care and patience to do both sides of a guitar neck. This file may not be the only tool you will need to end up with perfectly polished snag free fret ends but with it, one could take care of any sharp ends to the point of making an inexpensive import guitar perfectly playable as far as sharp or sprouted fret ends go. Further polishing is cool, but not really that important. By the way, I use many Japanese made cutting and sawing tools in my wood-shop. They are excellent.

I'm new to guitar fixing, but I think its doing the job on my chibbsons

Very sharp. Make sure you have a brass brush for intermitent cleaning of grooves
