Review: Work Very Well - I have some resonator guitars and when a new bridge/saddle is needed they are not slotted for strings as this can vary by the guitar maker. I made some repairs to two guitars recently and these files make slotting so much easier and accurate. Highly recommend going with these as opposed to some cheaper options which simply don’t work that well. Review: Essential Tools for Nut Adjustments and Restorations - These Holmer Tapered Nut Files are a great addition to any hobbyist's toolkit, especially for those involved in guitar restoration, refurbishment, and making precise adjustments on pre-cut and pre-slotted nuts. The files are designed to create a smooth, U-shaped slot, allowing the strings to sit properly, ensuring accurate string height and preventing any unwanted buzzing or intonation issues. The set comes with three files, each color-coded, making it easy to identify the right size for the job. While they may not be the top choice for a professional luthier handling high-end, custom work, they are more than adequate for everyday tasks, particularly for those working on budget or mid-range instruments. I found these files to be particularly effective when refining factory-cut nuts that often require minor adjustments to optimize playability. They cut through material cleanly, leaving a smooth finish that minimizes the risk of string breakage at the nut. The tapered design is a thoughtful touch, giving you control over the depth and width of the slot as you work. One thing to note is that these files are best suited for minor adjustments rather than heavy-duty work. If you're dealing with a blank nut or need to create deep slots from scratch, you might find these files lacking in the range of sizes. However, for the price and the convenience they offer, they are an excellent value for anyone who needs to make occasional adjustments or is just getting started with guitar maintenance. Overall, I'd recommend these to any guitar enthusiast or hobbyist looking for a reliable, budget-friendly set of nut files. They do the job well for most common tasks and are a solid choice for maintaining and improving the playability of your instrument. ## Features - These files are sized for electric guitars, 3 double sided nut files, cut fast and smooth, perfect tool to slot the nut of your electric guitar. - Tapered and V shaped cutting edge for easy slotting making, made specifically for making guitar bridge and nut slots! - Set includes 3 files with the following sizes: .010"/.013"/.017"/.026"/.036"/.046β€³, this is designed to be narrower than the nut size to keep the file from binding in the slot. - Total length: 193mm(7.6in), Blade length: 101m(3.98in), PVC carrying bag is provided to keep edges of files from damaging each other. - High quality metal material, long filing surface and rubber handle provide you comfortable use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #11,626 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #245 in Guitar Tools | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 239 Reviews | ## Images ![Holmer Tapered Nut Files Double Edge Nut Slotting Files Set Fret Crowning Files Luthier Tools for Electric Guitar Set of 3Pcs. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61V3FoKfjbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work Very Well *by D***D on January 12, 2025* I have some resonator guitars and when a new bridge/saddle is needed they are not slotted for strings as this can vary by the guitar maker.

Stew mac files are a bit better yes but for the cost of one stew mac file you get a whole set of these. If you are just trying to put final touches on a nut for standard gauge strings these are more than adequate. ## Frequently Bought Together - Holmer Tapered Nut Files Double Edge Nut Slotting Files Set Fret Crowning Files Luthier Tools for Electric Guitar Set of 3Pcs. - MusicNomad Precision Nut Height Slotting Gauge Tool (MN601), Silver - Holmer Bass Guitar Nut Files Double Edge Nut Slotting Files Set Fret Crowning Files Luthier Tools for P Bass Jazz Bass Guitar Set of 3Pcs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/272750571-holmer-tapered-nut-files-double-edge-nut-slotting-files-set](https://www.desertcart.us/products/272750571-holmer-tapered-nut-files-double-edge-nut-slotting-files-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
