Harder and Sharper Than Ordinary Files
The Diamond Dagger surpasses ordinary fret crowning files with its diamond grit cutting edges, making it harder, sharper, and more abrasive. This revolutionary design ensures precise and efficient fret work, ideal for intricate and demanding guitar modifications.
Wear-Resistant Technology
Engineered with advanced D.I.A. geometry and precision features, the Diamond Dagger features wear-resistant technology that many experienced luthiers and guitar enthusiasts prefer. It is less prone to clogging with sticky nickel silver fretwire debris, making it an optimal choice for guitars with hard fret materials such as stainless steel and Evo gold fretwire.
Uncompromising Craftsmanship
Designed with the highly accurate and easy-to-control cutting geometry of the Dagger 2.0, the Diamond Dagger ensures precise fret crowning. It prevents grooves in your frets and scarring on your fingerboard, achieving perfect fret centerlines and a relatively smooth finish. The tool also allows maximum file and finger clearance over the guitar body, ensuring no damage to the guitar body as you move up the neck.
No Need to Mask Your Fingerboard
In most cases, there is no need to mask off your fingerboard when using the Diamond Dagger. This makes it a practical and efficient tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
Comfortable Ergonomic Grip
The unique 4-sided design of the Diamond Dagger reduces fatigue during extended use. The contoured handle allows for comfortable grip angles, and the rounded filing section on the handle end provides effortless wrist action and precise control. Even when accessing upper frets, the tool's design allows for easy maneuverability over those tricky areas, such as a Les Paul toggle switch.
Banish Buzz and Round Fret Crowns
The Diamond Dagger leaves a rounded yet clearly defined fret crown, ensuring accurate intonation, pure tone, and sustained notes. It eliminates school bus roof-shaped frets, which can degrade your tone and volume and cause string rattle and intonation problems.
Professional and Beginner-Friendly
Both the Diamond Dagger and Dagger 2.0 are professional-grade tools, meeting the demanding needs of professional luthiers. However, they are so comfortable and intuitive to use that even beginners can achieve excellent results.
Ideal for a Range of Guitars
The Diamond Dagger fret crowning file is the ideal size and shape for modern acoustic and vintage electric guitars (MD or LG side), and modern electric guitars with jumbo and super jumbo frets (LG or XL side). It is suitable for guitars up to about 110" to 112" wide (aka Dunlop 6100).
Precision and Quality You Can Trust
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Diamond Dagger is a must-have for anyone serious about guitar maintenance and customization. Whether you are a professional luthier, an enthusiastic DIYer, or a guitar aficionado, the Diamond Dagger will serve your needs with precision and durability.
