A TRUE GAME-CHANGER: Designed by MusicNomad’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?
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.
