The fret dressing file is a tapered diamond file with all edges ground. The beech handle has an angle raised to about 20 Degrees from the horizontal. The design of this file makes it ideal to
1. Dress the ends of the frets, which is to just slightly round off the corner between the rounded fret top and the angled bevel. The small profile and the carefully ground edges of this file mean the file can get right into the corners where the fret beveled end meets the fretboard side.
2. Remove some fret height when an individual fret is found to be too high.
3. As the file can be angled along the side of a fret, it can shape the rounded crown of a fret. (A curved Fret Crowning File is the most efficient method for crowning click here to see our curved Fret Crowning Files)

The guitar neck rest is a simple design consisting of a "V" shape cork surface attached to a block made from softwood. The back of the neck sits in a stable position in the V and the cork provides a good surface that will not scratch the guitar and not let it slip. There is also a layer of cork across the base of the rest, so it does not slip on the surface it sits on. The rest takes care of the supporting interface to the guitar neck - the height it supports the back of the neck is about 40mm. Further packing (simple sheet wood) to get the height to match a particular guitar may be needed.

• Length : Choose from 75mm to 370mm. Common size is 240mm Long.
