Guitar Nut Slot File Set with Dual Cutting Edges

Precision Nut & Saddle Slotting for Accurate Guitar Setup

This Guitar Nut Slot File Set is designed for precise shaping, slotting and fine-tuning of guitar nuts and saddles. Featuring 13 round files and 1 flat file, it provides a practical range for working with different string gauges and slot profiles. Each file is made from durable metal (stainless steel) with dual cutting edges to deliver clean, controlled material removal on bone and plastic components.

The compact 6.5 cm files are lightweight and easy to handle, making them suitable for detailed work on acoustic, electric and classical guitars. Use them to refine nut slots, adjust saddle height and contour, or smooth contact points to reduce string binding. When correctly used, these files support more accurate intonation, improved tuning stability and a more consistent playing feel across the fretboard.
