Perfect timing i use nothing but music nomad quality products, they are tops in my book. Thanks for coming out with this set !

[@snakebyte7271]

Just pre-ordered a set worth the wait !

[@FlankinspanK]

They do make quality products! Big fan

[@pickersgrip]

Impressive set of files!

[@Yosemsamite]

Looks like a game changer! I’ll be waiting.

[@WhippJunior]

It figures. After years of holding out I just dropped $100 on a set from Stew’s. But I’ll go for these too. Look great.

[@fatfro1]

Same here. Damn!

[@WhippJunior]

@@fatfro1 FWIW The website says end of November release.

[@Ben-ll3iy]

What did you like for both of them? which brand is better?

[@hamricmike8]

Seems fantastic but I wish they were blue so they matched all of the other Music Nomad stuff on my bench! Safe for Graph-Tech Tusq nuts also I assume?

[@MusicNomadCare]

Haha, blue is the color, but gold for files

[@hamricmike8]

@@MusicNomadCare Why the price increase on these? A few weeks ago Sweetwater was selling the 6 piece sets for $69 and now they are $85?

[@dylannicklas7683]

@@MusicNomadCare do these files work for bridge saddles on acoustic guitars as well?

[@FF-so3su]

Very interesting 😊👍❤️

[@Exsomos]

TAKE MY MONEY!!!! i went to order a set, the MN668-6 piece medium set from SweetWater. I have been looking for a good AND affordable set, and these look AMAZING! But, it looks like they are all for "pre-order" and the only info I can find on that says "a few months"... I really want these, but will it really be a "few months"??? Is SweetWater the best place to order them to get them the fastest?

[@MusicNomadCare]

Nathan, we have just introduced these and they will be available in Feb. 2021. Sweetwater will have them as fast as anyone. Sorry for the delay, but we decided to announce it early so people don't buy another inferior nut file and then see this too late. You can sign up on our website to be email alerted when and where it's first available. It will be worth the wait.

[@Exsomos]

@@MusicNomadCare Well than, sounds like you got all the bases covered. Thanks for the reply and info. Guess its time to pre-order! Thank you

[@ColecoJoe]

will the complete set on Sweetwater come in cases?

[@MusicNomadCare]

It comes in a nice reusable corrugated box.

[@lyric.kayden]

How much longer might it be before these get released? I would really like a set. Thank you

[@MusicNomadCare]

We just started shipping the individual sizes out to places like Sweetwater so they will have them in the next week. For the 6 and 16 piece sets it will be available around 2-3 weeks.

[@minethulhufhtagn7239]

I've ordered the 6 piece set from Sweetwater a few weeks ago (MN668). What is the current estimate for these to ship to stores?

[@MusicNomadCare]

Sweetwater has then available on their website. Reach out to Sweetwater about your order. Thank you

[@minethulhufhtagn7239]

@@MusicNomadCare Thx. My delivery is scheduled for tomorrow.

[@joebubbit]

These have been delayed. Now it's February. I paid for mine almost 3 months ago. What's the latest delivery date? thanks

[@MusicNomadCare]

We are very sorry for the delays in the Nut Files. We will start shipping our dealers Late February. If you had a pre order you will be the first to get shipped. Thanks for all your support

[@FF-so3su]

I use 9 gauge strings on my electrics. What size files would I need to buy?

[@MusicNomadCare]

You should pick up the MN667 Super Light Electric Nut File Set www.musicnomadcare.com/Products/Diamond-Coated-Nut-Files-21-Products/

[@JimmyKay1976]

Would I need a full set of files for a single guitar? I use Ernie Ball 10 gauge set. Super Slinky

[@MusicNomadCare]

You could buy the 6 pc. Electric Guitar Diamond Coated Nut File Set - Light Strings, with Storage Case. it will work great for your 10's

We will be back in stock mid-June on the 16pc nut file set

[@INeverWanted2010]

@@MusicNomadCare Thank you

[@bassyey]

Does it shape to the exact shape of the string? I want my string to sit in a semi-circle slot.

[@MusicNomadCare]

The Nut Files have a round "string-shape" blade design

[@bassyey]

@@MusicNomadCare Thanks! Will order a set for my bass.

[@fretted]

Saw a review on Sweetwater, confirm the 16pc set comes with case, and all the files are marked with the size?

[@MusicNomadCare]

The file size is marked on the metal blade and you also get stickers to put on. Currently the 16 pc does not have a case, but they have hang holes. Case is in the works and will be available to purchase separately.

[@fretted]

@@MusicNomadCare Thanks. Will wait until you have the case for the 16pc set. Hopefully soon :-)

[@guitartec]

WARNING... I use nut files every day for the last 45 years and can't afford to find out these MN's are a let down. What is your return policy? StewMac allows returns forever. I have every file from Grizzly, Hiroshima, Ibanez, etc to those silly gauged rods all sitting in a drawer wasted. Most were butter knives after 6 mos. I'm done with not being able to return files that don't hold up or can't be replaced for the cost of shipping like the SM's.

[@MusicNomadCare]

Thanks for reaching out. We stand behind our products 100%, if you find you're having issues you can email us at [e-mail].

[@guitartec]

@@MusicNomadCare Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I cannot buy with only that promise. I need to know I'd at least be getting MN credit for product that don't work for me and/or my business and that's how you roll... ALWAYS! That's why SM has been around for decades.Thanks again!

[@guitartec]

@Jimmy Lundberg I totally agree. Time for me to raise my prices.

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

I have Strats, Teles, Gretches and others with string gauges from 9 to 56... what kit should I get?

[@MusicNomadCare]

The general rule is that the file should be the same size as the string, up to no more than .003" - .004" larger than the string. If you go much larger, the slot can become so large that the string vibrates in the slot, causing a buzz. If you use a file smaller than the string, the slot will be too tight, causing tuning issues. Due to the custom set strings your using can you please email our Guitar Tech at [e-mail] so he can help you further on which files you will need

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

@@MusicNomadCare Thanks! much appreciated! I'll do that later today!

[@andrew2272kag]

Will there be options for wider files, ie 145 gauge strings?

[@MusicNomadCare]

Our largest file is a .130", a .145" size nut file is very uncommon for any guitar or bass files. For more clarification or questions you can email us at [e-mail]

[@lyric.kayden]

Question, I seen a couple people online say the higher gauge files wear out after a couple uses and that the diamond plating wore out or didn’t last/hold up. So are these warranted against this? And can you buy just files without the plastic holder? Thanks

[@MusicNomadCare]

We stand behind our product and if you have any issue with the files wearing out prematurely like your example, please contact us. MusicNomad's community of users is a family and we take care of them. There is normal wear and tear for heavy users or misuse but for the guitar player or hobbyist these should last a very long time. We don't sell replacement blades as the majority of the cost is in the blade and it is very rare you should have an issue. Our industrial Diamond Coated Grit with our unique blade design gives you a smooth, polished slot every time and is far superior to the common toothed files that cost around the same price. You will love them.

[@lyric.kayden]

@@MusicNomadCare awesome awesome, thank you very much. I just placed my order for a set and look forward to using them. Thank you

@@MusicNomadCare Thanks for the reply. I have been slowly buying your products and like and use most of them. I just bought your new style bridge pin remover and am waiting for its arrival. With nut files, I'm lucky to get maybe 1 to 2 years from steel files before they're only good to serve butter. I recently bought Hiroshima nut files from an on-line seller which a few of them were useless from day one. That allowed me to see how valuable the lifetime replacement warranty I get from where I typically buy them is. I've not yet sprung for any of their diamond files due to their astronomical price, so I am tempted to try yours IF I can be sure I'm covered. I get that their astronomical price IS what allows them to send free replacements, so I need to ask you exactly how long am I covered by your warranty, bein' that I'm practically family and all? : D

[@MusicNomadCare]

If something breaks from a manufacturing defect we stand behind our product and just reach out to us for a replacement. If there is normal wear and tear from use over 1000’s of cuts we don’t replace it. We don’t have an exact amount of cuts due to the various nut and bridge materials and hand pressure you can put on it. Cutting metal will shorten the amount of cuts you can do. If you are not happy with a product just reach out to us and we always try and make it right. [e-mail] 707-939-5260
