This file was designed by luthiers for luthiers and is an economical way to get your fretting kit started. The handle is rubber-coated for comfort.

    Works on stainless frets, too! Modern stainless-steel fretwire is known to be harder than the traditional nickel-silver blends, but our own shop experience indicates the wire does not cause premature wear of files or sandpapers.
