⚠️ Nut Filing Tips
Match file to string gauge — always use the file that corresponds to your string gauge for a clean, correctly sized slot
File at a slight angle — angle the file slightly toward the headstock so the slot is deepest at the back, allowing the string to break cleanly over the front edge
Remove material slowly — take light passes and check depth frequently. You cannot add material back once removed
Target slot depth — approximately 50–60% of the string diameter should sit below the top of the nut for proper action and tone

Common Questions
Q: Is nut filing suitable for beginners?
A: Nut work requires care and patience — mistakes are difficult to reverse. Beginners should practice on a spare nut first or consult a guitar technician. This set is best suited for intermediate to advanced players and luthiers.
Q: How do I know which file to use for my strings?
A: Match the file size to your string gauge. For example, a .010 high E string requires a file sized for .010. The set covers the most common gauges used on electric, acoustic, and bass guitars.
Q: Can I use these files on a bone nut?
A: Yes — the files work on bone, synthetic, plastic, and TUSQ nuts. Bone is harder and will require more passes, but the files are designed to handle it.
