Where Can I Get A Fret Stone? 10 Months, 4 Weeks ago Karma: 0
I'm in need of a fret stone but can't seem to find one anywhere. I work on guitars, repairs and modifications, I haven't needed a stone up to now but it's a certainty I will eventually. Thought I'd find one here, surprised not to unless I just haven't been in the right catagory?

A fret stone is basicly a sharpening stone. I don't use one any more as you tend to end up with several for each different radius.

A good flat file or long flat block used with 320 grit paper is just as good.

I was looking at sharpening stones but all I can find are dual grit ones which, I don't think, are really suitable? I will probably go down the "make yer own" fret leveller route.

If you go to a good hardware store and get a very fine sharpening stone than should do the trick, but not the standard ones as they're too harsh.

Otherwise try Doyle Dykes / Touchstone / Stew Mac.

Surprised they don't do em here!
