Hi David,

Stewart MacDonald guitar fret files are the best. DON'T get the cheaper ones. Get the diamond files. They work quickly with 150 and 300 grits, and then follow with 400 and 600 sandpaper and buff. 15 minutes tops. Perfect every time.

What are techs using to file capo bars before restringing?   I've read that guitar fret files were being used...I'm interested in the type of file and any technique used.  I'm thinking a 2 mm radius...?   I am reading the archives on this and some good articles in the Journal...
