I’m an assembly tech in a custom shop and we have both - they each have their uses but I much prefer the Music Nomad ones for slotting nuts.alexpigment wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 5:52 pmI use the Music Nomad files once every month or two, and they get the job done without any major downsides. How well do they work against higher priced files? Fortunately, I have no idea!
I bought them after watching a seemingly unbiased review from Driftwood Guitars (it was a comparison between those and Stewmac files). They pointed out many times why the Stewmac ones were better for them. I just went and rewatched the end of the video, and their take was "if you're a hobbyist and you're not making much money doing this, then buy these Music Nomad ones and you're not going to be disappointed". And since that's exactly my situation, they fit the bill.
Ibanez nut files - Does anyone here have them?

Not the nut files, but I just received today the Z file. Got home from work to the package waiting for me without me knowing. So I did what i had to do, smoke some ganja then hit the frets with some Z-file action. Then took a pause to post this, and cause, shit my arm is sore too!
Im working my way up. Looks pretty decent so far...

Diamond grit, round bottom, come in more gauges, etc.OffYourFace wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 12:29 pmnah fuck those yellow handles. it looks like construction site tools for preschoolers haha
You can pop the handle off to get into tight spaces too. I DO kind of wish they made a longer alternative handle, but they do not at the moment.
that's good to know, thanks!!
