Then again, it might be worth it rather than paying a luthier to recrown the frets on a couple guitars.

Any cheap alternative for fret files? These aren't exactly cheap but they are cheaper than I have seen

I saw a set of fret files for about $10 a few weeks ago when I was looking for the nut files. When searching on eBay try looking for any of the following: files. tool, luthier, fret, dressing.

I needed to lower the G, B, & High E strings on my VooDoo Acoustic/Electric a bit and just used these files. It worked GREAT! The nut on my guitar is plastic so I am not sure how they would work on graphite or ebony nuts but at this price it's not much of a risk.

***Disclaimer***

As with any modification you do take it slow AND only file a little at a time. I lowered all 3 strings in less than 10 minutes so it doesn't take much!
