FretGuru Sanding Beam Fret Leveler – (10" ~ 250mm) Professional guitar luthier leveling file includes 100, 240, 320 Grit Peel and Stick Sandpaper and naphtha based adhesive remover wipes

Do not be afraid to use this to level or rework your frets. It worked great for me and I have never done fret work. I had one bad ding in a fret and some strange low spots across the higher end of the fretboard I found while sanding out the ding. I watched a few videos and got a few other items to rework, reshape and polish my frets and they turned out great!

A great fret leveling beam at a great price. It's well made, and worth every penny. I had to level a compound radius neck and used this to get the job done. Works great, made great! 10/10!

I really like the ease of these pre-cut sanding beam strips. I thought they may be a little pricey, but they are well worth the money. Great quality grit, they provide a very nice, uniform finish to your frets, and they last a good long time, so you won't be replacing them as often. I'm very pleased with this purchase, and will definitely buy again, when I need to replace them.

I may not have any authority on the subject as I am new to doing my own guitar maintenance, setups and repairs, but this thing meets all my needs, exceeds my expectations and feels like it was made with old fashioned Made in America pride. It's a basic tool and one could easily DIY craft a simple block and add sand paper to it and it would work just as well, no doubt. In fact, I would recommend doing that first and then buying one of these shortly thereafter so that you could appreciate that much more. If this vendor makes other tools I will probably go the DIY route and then upgrade one tool at a time.I fully support the vendor who crafted this thing and made it possible to swipe the payment authorization on Prime and then have it waiting for me at my front doorstep. Get one, or don't get one, but if you get it I hope you can appreciate the quality and craftsmanship as much as I do.I have zero Internet influence, but if I did I would plug this so more people could get a hold of one and take the risk that they would love the baby Jesus out of it!!! ;)Mr. Vendor, I hope this one little review helps you in BIG ways. Keep making these, please.

I am not a professional luthier. I am barely a functioning guitar player. lol. I have wanted to dabble into fret work for a while and this was a great investment. I don’t like the semi permanent sanding paper solution. Seems like a big hassle to peel sanding tape off to change the grit like they want you to buy 2 for the 4 types of grit. I used the 2 “finishing “ grits and will leave it there. If I need to take more off a fretted guitar I should probably take it to get refretted or Plexed.Tool seems really well built and the blue is very nice. Seems to be a well intended small business. I have purchased other tools from this seller. Nice work.

I presumed that this leveling beam would be at the least - serviceable. I’ve used several FretGuru products before in the past & they’ve all been quite good in my opinion. Never extravagant but always well designed & manufactured, AND they’re U.S.A. made! Plus, they’re always an excellent alternative to the ‘big name’ & ‘even bigger price tag’ options that can cost 8x as much. However I didn’t expect this leveling beam to seem SO well made. It’s got a very good anodized coating on it that looks great, a really nice blue, but coatings can also occasionally hide shoddy craftsmanship or QC. Laying this beam on a reference plate though, mainly out of curiosity, shocked me with what it showed. Whoever ground this thing flat & then lapped it - KNEW what they were doing. It’s only 0.0004 off being PERFECTLY (and impossibly) straight. Four tenths of one ten-thousandth of an inch. Far below even the standard margin of manufacturing error. I never would’ve guessed that, and if I hadn’t referenced it I wouldn’t have believed it. I didn’t know that ‘that’ was even achievable if you set out on a project to do that.If I had to mention one negative… and even then it’s NOT ‘really’ a negative, as it is everything it’s described to be in the listing… it’s that it only comes with one strip of adhesive backed sandpaper of each grit. It would’ve seemed so much more generous had it included 2 or 3 rather than simply 1 of each grit. But, it’s not as if they said I’d get 2 or 3… and many of the listed leveling beams don’t seem to come with paper at all. The strips included however do seem to be of a pretty decent quality, and they’ve adhered to the beam quite well. Just be careful of getting any wrinkles or bubbles under the paper when you stick it down onto the beam. Because even a tiny wrinkle or bubble can cause havoc when you try to level your frets. The instructions (very clear BTW) advise to heat up the adhesive backed sandpaper gently as that will aid in getting good adhesion. I didn’t take that extra step & mine adhered quite well to both working sides and ended up perfectly aligned & smoothly laid. But to be on the safe side - follow the instructions carefully.All in all - why would you spend upwards of $80-130 for a leveling beam that you may only use a few times (unless you’re a working Luthier with your own shop), when you can spend less than half that amount and still get a very good quality & American made alternative? Even if you ARE a working Luthier with your own shop… this FretGuru beam, judging from what I’ve seen with mine, is just as good!
