What is this file used for?

It smooths and refines the inside of guitar nut slots so strings sit evenly. It is a maintenance tool, not a full nut-cutting set.

Does it fit all string gauges?

The file is a single general-purpose shape with no gauged widths. You widen slots gradually by hand, so check the slot often as you work.

Will it work on bass and acoustic guitars?

Yes. It is described for electric, acoustic and bass guitars, so it covers most common nut materials and string sizes.

Do I need other tools to slot a nut?

For a new nut you still need a way to start slots at the right spacing and depth. This file is best for smoothing and fine adjustment.

It measures about 7.8 cm by 4.6 cm, small enough to control with your fingers at the nut.

Our take on the Yunhgft Guitar Nut Slotting File

The Yunhgft Guitar Nut Slotting File is a small metal file for smoothing and refining the inside of guitar nut slots so strings seat evenly. It measures about 7.8 cm by 4.6 cm, so it fits in a hand and reaches a nut without removing much else. Its rounded bottom is meant to leave a smooth, even channel for the string. It suits hobbyists and gigging players doing their own nut work on electric, acoustic and bass guitars. Against pro luthier files, it is a single general-purpose tool with no gauged cutting widths, so it shapes slots by hand feel rather than by fixed string sizes.
