When to choose it

Choose this kit when the diagnosed work calls for fret-end dressing and finishing. It combines a file with separate guards and finer abrasives, so check which part of the job each tool serves before working on the instrument.

Use the guard and finish protection specified by the instructions. If you only need to polish clean fret surfaces, compare a simpler polishing set that omits the dressing file.

Questions about this product

Is the file intended for fret-end work?

What do the colored pads add?

The pads provide several grades for finishing after the appropriate earlier step.

Should I use the whole kit for a light polish?
