Product details
The Northwest Guitars compact crowning file set gives you three widths, 1mm, 2mm and 3mm, so you have the right file for any fret wire, from vintage-thin to extra-jumbo. Each file has two cutting surfaces: a coarse side for removing material quickly and a fine side for refining the crown before polishing. Large triangles mark the coarse surface and small triangles mark the fine surface, so you always know which side you're working with. Clear arrows show the cutting direction.
Each file has a silicone rubber grip that keeps it secure in the hand for controlled, consistent strokes. It's a complete crowning kit for fretwork on any guitar that comes through the workshop.
