## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States July 20, 2026*

Couldn't wait for this, one of my guitars had significant fret sprout up and down the neck. SS frets, too.This got the job done well. It was an easy, fast procedure. File is outstanding!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ StewMac Quality!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States July 8, 2026*

This is a quality, durable, and well designed little fret end file. It is just the right size to comfortably do the job. It does take some practice to use it efficiently and effectively but not a steep learning curve. The file does have smooth edges that will protect the fingerboard. I do recommend using blue tape until you acquire some skill with it. I would also tape poly finished maple fretboards beforehand.I’ve been playing, maintaining, and rebuilding guitars for over 50 years. I previously used a set of standard mini files and nail salon files to dress and smooth fret ends. I saw this StewMac Fret End Dressing File here on Amazon at a reduced more reasonable price of $20 so I bought it. I will say having used standard files to smooth fret ends, this file speeds up the process. It also is a very fine file and it takes less time to polish the fret ends after using it. I wouldn’t personally pay full price for this file, but if you can get it for $20, it’s worth it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool
*by  on Reviewed in the United States July 9, 2026*

This file works fast and only requires a few passes.
