No detail is overlooked, and it is packed with unmatched features and benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Did I Not Think of the Safe Zone?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe patent pending Safe Zone innovation prevents users from overfiling. At the top of the file, there is a small strip where there are no diamonds. Once users perfectly sculpt and round both sides of the frets, the S-File stops filing and skates on top of the fret. Users 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 users are seasoned techs or new to fret crowing it reduces the learning curve from weeks to hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Perfect Diamond File Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 240 premium diamond coating is perfectly rounded to closely match the original radius of the 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 Music Nomad's wide channel to improve the functionality. Additionally, Music Nomad's diamond file cuts in both directions, speeding up the process, unlike toothed files that cut in only one direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBig Improvement Over Existing Handle Designs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMusic Nomad's comfortable, heavy, ergonomic handle design makes such a big difference. It starts with Music Nomad's innovative blue silicone comfort grip that reduces hand fatigue. The offset design provides both added leverage when filing and allows users to clear the guitar body when filing over it. Weight makes a difference. Music Nomad beefed up Music Nomad's design so the weight of the S-File does the work for users 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 users to know the correct file size to use. Music Nomad even includes a convenient hang hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAdditional Features and Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt works amazing for crowning the most popular and widely used fret wire material, Nickel Silver, found on all Acoustic Guitars, Banjos, Ukuleles and most Electric and 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. Check the manufacturer’s fret specification. Music Nomad's exclusive nose design features two lines for spot fret crowning. Position the line to be 90 degrees(straight up) from the frets and users will just be filing right where the line intersects with the fret. It’s so simple but functional. Music Nomad's high quality manufacturing process includes radiused and beveled edges along the entire perimeter for the comfort and safety of the fretboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond Coating: 240 premium diamond coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Channels: Narrow\/medium frets and wide\/jumbo frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: .38 lbs (173g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose Design: Two lines for spot fret crowning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpot Fret Crowning Position: 90 degrees(straight up)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: MUSIC NOMAD\u003cbr\u003eModel: MN850\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I775103-N-0-WHXE\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 850022370724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
