Nut File - B String (.125-.130)

[needmoney]

Where can I get one? No I don't want some cheap needle file set either. I already have the E,A,D,G files, just need a B! Any ideas?

Cheers!

Cut it close with a .120 and mark the slot with a sharpie. Run a old .125 and .130 guage string back and forth until the sharpie mark is gone. I've never done this but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Stewmac only go up to .105 in the single files, and the double-file they sell is .105/.120. I don't particularly want the double-file. Anywhere else?

not too long ago Stewmac sold nut files with the same size on both sides. at that time they offered a .130" file as part of the sizes

bummer they have gone this route of double sided files


if you're willing to part with AUS $31 for a single file, this site offers a .130" nut file

I filed my saddles with old strings, work perfectly, hehe!

it should be big enough for a drill bit used as a file
