[WANTED] Fret crowning file

klaasvakie

So, I want to try my hand at a little bit of fret work, and it looks like I can DIY most of the tools i need (straight edge, leveling file etc.) but the crowing file looks elusive.

Is it possible to buy this locally, or do I have to figure out how to get 'n stewmac crowning file to SA cheaply?

I don't know of any local suppliers. I'd use stew mac if I were you

There is this : https://www.mercurymusic.co.za/Guitar/Ibanez-4450-Fret-File-Set. But I wouldn't.

+1, Stew-mac is the trusted source and there are other options : http://www.guitarforum.co.za/setup-mods-and-repair/where-to-find-a-fret-crowning-file/

Perhaps someone is doing a Stew-mac group buy?

Ooh, thanks for the 2012 link to the same question.

I love this idea (http://www.guitarforum.co.za/setup-mods-and-repair/where-to-find-a-fret-crowning-file/msg184269/#msg184269)

I think I'm going to try this first. I only have 1 fret that is ever so slightly high. If this method fails, I might start a group buy ?
