Say no to black markers, constantly checking and worrying about over filing, MusicNomad takes fret crowning to the next level with their game-changing, patent pending Safe Zone "S-File". It starts with the "safe zone" innovation that has no diamond grit at the top of the arch of the channel, eliminating the chance of over filing.

The Safe Zone filing design reduces the fret crowning learning curve from weeks to hours. The premium 240 diamond grit combined with the ideal filing radius design gives you the perfect cut every time. Let's talk handle design! The inventive blue silicone comfort grip is a breakthrough and reduces hand fatigue like no other. The offset design provides both added leverage when filing and allows you to clear the guitar body when filing over it. The S-File works on all fret types and sizes, has custom lines on the nose for spot crowning, a wide channel that is not too flat, a common complaint of other crowning files, a convenient hang hole, and so much more. Don't lose it or loan it, you'll look forward to the next time you crown your frets.

That's MusicNomad quality, bringing fret care to the next level.

Features:

- A TRUE GAME-CHANGER: Designed by Music Nomad's 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?:… read more 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 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, Music Nomad increased the roundness of their wide channel to improve the functionality. Additionally, the 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: The comfortable, heavy, ergonomic handle design makes such a big difference. It starts with the 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. Music Nomad beefed up their 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. It even includes a convenient hang hole.
- WORKS ON ALL FRET TYPES: It works amazingly for crowning all fret material found on guitar, bass and other stringed instruments, including stainless steel. The exclusive nose design features two lines for spot fret crowning. Position the line to be 90 degrees(straight up) from the frets and you will just be filing right where the line intersects with the fret. It's so simple but functional. The high quality manufacturing process includes radiused & beveled edges along the entire perimeter for the comfort and safety of your fretboard.
