What is it a Fret Leveling File? Fret leveling file is used to plane or level your guitar’s fretboard and frets. For most luthiers, purchasing a set of leveling files can be quite expensive. Here’s a nice tool in an economic format! Why? When performing a fret leveling on a guitar the frets are filed as a whole, not individually. This insures that the crown of one fret is not lower or higher than the one next to it. Also, fret leveling is a necessary procedure in the maintenance of your guitar frets and may need to be done somewhat regularly. In order for your guitar to play properly, all the frets need to be level with each other. High frets will cause the strings to buzz on lower frets and may even cause intonation issues. The fret leveling file is used to sand down the high frets to the precision uniform height of the rest of the frets. Description: Very nice fret leveling file. Wood Handle. Satin finish.
