Right?? I have an old buddy who has his first little Fender Tweed Champ about to arrive. I warned him it is going to be louder than he thinks for the sweet spot. To be honest - if you can't FEEL most amps - you aren't playing them loud enough!

@griff10672 I ended up going with one of their compact original models on sale for $75. Figured it would be useful on old/wide or new frets alike.

My same exact thought. The old cases I found are also worn in that the padding, what little there was, has shrunken up and you can see it would just be hitting wood.

I highly appreciate that clarification!

Hello all, A nice modern Fender branded mustang case in mint condition popped up on reverb for like $130 with free shipping last night. I snagged it. Thanks for all of the suggestions. Most definitely will be well packed and fully insured when I do ship/sell it.

That's awesome! All those years and it was just a change or two away from being far closer to what you wanted. Congrats on the "new" guitar.

If you look at the shape of it, you can tell. One other way to tell is, does yours file one side at a time or both?

Which type of Z file did you go with/have? They sell like 3 variants now. Funnily enough, I am looking forward to using a file and manually trying it but have a feeling I will eventually invest in one of those Z files.

Kudos because if I had NOT gotten a set of those in fairly recent times, you would have changed my guitar tech life.

Yes, possibly the best $8 I have spent in my entire life. It saves so much time it's unreal!

Many thanks! From SM, I grabbed; 8 nut files (an assortment to cover most common electric guitar gauges), fret kisser, fret rocker, dead blow fret hammer, fret end file, triangle file for crowning, the little screwdriver set.... Feel like I am forgetting stuff but that's the majority from...

Yeah I needed a brass hammer, so that is on the way as well. I have done very light fret work and spot leveling but honestly have not had a guitar that has needed an entire level. I used a friend's tools in those previous instances. Will be nice to have some of my own. I will check out that YT...

That is a killer corner of tone! Hope it brings you many deafening hours of enjoyment. 👍👍

Oh no...not being able to play someone else's music.... 😮😮 When I was younger, that mattered a heck of a lot more than it does now 😅
