Good morning all, I am new to the forum and need advice. I am looking for a set of good quality nut files and would like to know if anyone has advice as to where they can be bought in South Africa.
Luthier Tools
RMurray Heya and welcome
Here's what I know of a.t.m
https://valleysound.co.za/product-category/new-guitar-parts-and-accessories/guitar-accessories/ - good selection of mostly chinese/asian souced parts and bits. I see his files are mostly sold out though.
https://thundercloudmusic.co.za/ - used to have a few luthier bits, but mostly parts & gear now.
https://www.terryd.co.za/ - no luthier stuff, but the widest range of musicial bits, moslty asian sourced & cheap too.
https://blackbeardsden.com/en-za - they used to have entry level luthier bits, but since the ownership change it seems to be kits & necks only.
Chat to your local luthier (Traut guitarworx in Cpt, JD Kustom in Jozi) about buying tools from them - maybe team up for a group buy from Stewmac.
Just spotted this on the Cape Watch website:
