🔧 About the Southeast 16 Nut File

This file is a remake of an old StewMac nut file that is no longer available.

As Barrett trained new technicians, he realized that many modern nut file sets were missing the .016 gauge, leaving a significant gap in the string gauge sizes currently available on the market.

That missing size may seem small, but it creates real setup issues and forces techs to compromise accuracy.

Barrett redesigned the original file he had relied on for years, refining it to meet modern repair needs, and had it manufactured first for our students.

Due to demand, we are now making it available to the public.
