My least favorite task in uke construction is dressing the fret ends. I can never get them to even vaguely look alike, nor can I avoid gauging out chunks of the fretboard no matter how I try. I have the best results using a four sided tool, of which two sides are toothed and two are "safe". However, the teeth on this particular file are fairly course, leaving the fret ends a little on the rough side, requiring further dressing and opportunities for more wood gauging!
Enter the Fret Guru Ultimate Fret End File 2, which I discovered on Amazon, of all places! The teeth on this file are really fine and although I'm yet to try it out, I'm sure it will produce great results. I still have to work on avoiding filing the surrounding wood!
