Review: Amazing fret crowning file – definitely a foolproof design - This crowning file is amazing. The no-grit “safe zone” is truly a game changer, and I think you would have to try very hard to botch a crowning job using this. You can just feel when the crowning is done, and the file just starts gliding across the fret without sanding anymore. Much faster than the standard filing methods, with lots of stopping and checking. It’s amazingly simple. The only actual drawback is that if you start your learning journey with this file, you’ll never learn how to do it the old school way, so you better not lose this tool. The only other thing to note is that the 240 grit does leave the frets a bit rougher than I’d like, so they do take a bit more work/time during final polishing. But the timed saved on crowning more than makes up for it, and then some. I posted some pictures of the progress of a single crown. You can’t expect desertcart to put the pictures in order, but you can get the idea. Absolutely 5 stars, even a this fairly high price, it’s worth every penny.
Review: Why wait? Get one NOW! (Guitar Tech speaking) - Wonderful tool! This is a MUST HAVE for any beginning guitar tech who is afraid of the jump off from fretboard oiling, and fret polishing and into leveling and crowning. This has taken the learning curve from weeks to mere hours. Now, do not get too over-zealous in the fact that this tool will make you a instant luthier and tech, because while it has made it quick and safe, you still need to follow a guideline or two. For the price, this is perfect. I paid $84.99 and so far it has made that back plus more. If you look at the pictures (I wish I had a video, maybe in the future I'll make one) you will see that it leaves a perfect crown in the middle of the fret after you level. It has 2 fret sizes, so it has some versatility, and it is very accurate and predictable. Watch a few videos and you cannot go wrong with this tool in your money saving endeavor. Most guitar techs and luthiers will charge upwards of $150.00 for a fret leveling, crown and file. This tool is perfect if you just picked up a budget or used guitar and want to do the neck work yourself. The rubber surrounding this file makes it extremely durable, and actually helps my hands not get cramped up by making this file thicker than my baroque fret files, which tend to have wooden handles that begin to hurt my palm and cramp my hand after 10 minutes. All in all, you cannot go wrong. This is half the price of a StewMac fret file, and twice as much as a Baroque...but you certainly get what you pay for with this file.

## Features

- A TRUE GAME-CHANGER: Designed by our Sonoma, CA team and in collaboration with top repair techs, the Safe Zone S-File sets a new higher standard for what you should expect when you buy a Fret Crowing File. No detail is overlooked, and it is packed with unmatched features and benefits.
- WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THE SAFE ZONE?: The patent pending Safe Zone innovation prevents you from over filing. At the top of the file, there is a small strip where there are no diamonds. Once you perfectly sculpt and round both sides of the frets, the S-File stops filing and skates on top of the fret. You can hear and feel the difference and it's time to move to the next fret. It's that simple...File-Skate-Go! The premium diamonds make both fast and precision filing. Whether you are a seasoned tech or new to fret crowing it reduces the learning curve from weeks to hours.
- THE PERFECT DIAMOND FILE DESIGN: The 240 grit premium diamond coating is perfectly rounded to closely match the original radius of your frets. One channel is for narrow/medium frets and the other is for wide/jumbo frets. After hearing many repair shops complain the wide side of existing files are too flat to use, we increased the roundness of our wide channel to improve the functionality. Additionally, our diamond file cuts in both directions, speeding up the process, unlike toothed files that cut in only one direction.
- BIG IMPROVEMENT OVER EXISTING HANDLE DESIGNS: Our comfortable, heavy, ergonomic handle design makes such a big difference. It starts with our innovative blue silicone comfort grip that reduces hand fatigue. The offset design provides both added leverage when filing and allows you to clear the guitar body when filing over it. Weight makes a difference. We beefed up our design so the weight of the S-File does the work for you and is in a weight class by itself at .38 lbs (173g). Lastly, the fret size channel application is engraved in the handle so it won't rub off, allowing you to know the correct file size to use. We even include a convenient hang hole.
- 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. Our exclusive nose design features two lines for spot fret crowning. Position the line to be 90 degrees from the frets and you will just be filing right where the line intersects with the fret. Our high quality manufacturing process includes radiused & beveled edges along the entire perimeter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best crowning file, giving accurate results made easy
*by R***S on August 4, 2024*

I have 3 other crowning files similar to the music nomad s file, But similar is a vague statement? The design of the music nomad s file is pretty much fool proof compared to others, it leaves a nice even crown and does not take off the top of the frets after doing a fret leveling. I literally tried fairly hard to see if I could remove some of the top using a marker on top of a fret, and what I ended up with was a very fine bead on top of the fret, after doing this I used a fret rocker to confirm that the top of the fret was level with the fret before and after the fret I just crowned using the music nomad s file and the results were absolutely even all the way across the fret, so I proceeded to crown All existing frets checking each fret after the entire neck of fret leveling was finished..? The results were every single fret remained absolutely even! Now all my fret crowning files can do an okay job, but guaranteed none except for the music nomad s file can yield perfectly even results, and I am impressed to say the least. If you have never done a fret crowning Job, by a fret leveling beam, fret rocker, maybe a fret kisser for spot leveling,(I bet music nomad will come out with a spot leveling tool soon) a fret hammer, some 1000 grit sandpaper, 2000 grit sandpaper, (#0000 steel wool optional if you don't like using sandpaper to polish out the frets) before doing a fret leveling Job remove your strings, adjust truss rod to get the neck as flat straight as possible ( use a straight edge or notched straight edge to check this)make sure all frets are properly seated using a fret hammer tapping lightly (you might use a little wood glue or some type of super glue if frets won't stay seated) check every 3 fret span using a fret rocker, painter's/ masking tape between All frets, Mark fret tops with a blue marker, take your fret leveling beam and start with maybe 300 or 500 grit adhesive strips on sanding beam, proceed with even number of strokes getting All frets, look for marking pin tops that have marking pen on top, keep working the beam until marking pen is gone off frets, check every 3 fret span with fret rocker, all should be level at this point, take the music nomad s file and match the file side to your frets narrow and tall are common on fender/squier.. but check with manufacturer for the fret wire gauge, example, narrow and tall, medium jumbo etc. Go across each fret using the music nomad s file util the grinding sound changes to smooth sound, use 1000 grit to smooth out any filing scratches, then 2000 to get some shine, use some frine fret Polish, wipe off, remove masking tape, use some fretboard conditioner like f-one wipe off, restring and retune and your guitar will play as smooth as butter. There are some good YouTube videos by music nomad for all this and more... But the music nomad s file is simply unbeatable and fail proof, which Will give even beginners the confidence to go forward and giving there guitar a custom shop feel and optimum playability, intonation, and buttery smooth bends and playing in general..
