Fretshaper Fret Spot Leveling Kit for Guitar Maintenance, Black, Fret Spot Leveler

My original review for this product was only 1 star but after learning it's made using SLS which is a durable and robust 3D printing technique (used in aircraft and aerospace) I decided to change it. I originally thought it cheap 3D printed plastic which is easily confused with the finishes however it's actually very durable and if it's used in aerospace applications you know it has to be good. Products made using SLS are very precise and very durable and the machines used to make them cost 10s of thousands. Metal is preferred to plastic in my opinion for durability but this is far better and more durable than any plain old 3D printed plastic so factoring in all this and the price it's actually spot on... pun intended ;). Best used for minor fret work. If it's more than a few frets you are best doing a full level however having a spot level tool is invaluable as a full level is a much bigger job and this way you are only targeting the frets that need it instead of taking of a load of material off all your frets and potentially messing up your radius or frets entirely if you haven't done it before. Remember spot leveling is like playing whac a mole, you level one fret and you then make the adjacent frets unlevel so you need to go back and forth to get them all level but in the end you will get a near perfect level. Remember too there's a tolerance to how level you need to get a fret so they don't need to be perfect to play great. Overall its a decent product so factoring in everying I've decided to change my review to 5 stars just remember it's a high quality manufacturing technique not standard plastic and you can buy with confidence.

Brilliant. I hate to use a cliche, but these tools in this range are a "Game Changer". Simplified fret work overnight

Saw this on mile house studio,so decided to try it . Have used it for the first time and it did the trick on the two slightly high frets.

Adequate.

£24 for a small piece of plastic and 10 equally small sanding paper pieces seems a bit steep! Also wasn’t very impressed with their video on fret edges to cure fret sprout. Seemed to ignore established practices of good lutherie i.e. maintaining pressure and angle.

I saw this product among other much more expensive brands and researched Youtube for a full review of this Fretshaper tool. After watching some use case videos I decided to buy it, not only because of the price but also the material makes more sense to me on a new guitar. It came in a small paper bag with 10 huge strips of sanding paper. I cut the sanding paper to the right size of these indentations, wrapped the sanding paper into this little notch, and started to work on the higher frets on my Harley Benton Fusion III. This guitar had two slightly higher frets which caused dying off tone when bending and a slight buzz while playing. What shall I say: it is - like others reviewed here - a gamechanger. After sanding down the two frets (I also left the strings on) for around 10 - 15 minutes the buzz was gone and a check with my fretrocker confirmed that the high fret was leveled. I polished it up and it plays perfectly now. Highly recommended!!!

Super produit , j avais 2 frettes haute et maintenant le problème est résolu. Je n ai pas eu besoin de faire une planimetrie

Ho già sistemato due manici che richiedevano rettifica…buono per piccoli interventi casalinghi.

Devo ancora provarlo ma penso sia fatto bene per quello che serve.
