Elmer Guitar

Listen, I work in my local string shop where we are outfitted with S.M.'s finest fretting tools. Including their 369.00 dollar handheld fret press. It's a wonderful tool that "does the thing" but, for Elmers sale price of 108 dollars for the whole set with neck cawls and radiused fret presses across the board is a seriously good buy even if they weren't great. But, it works PERFECTLY. I've done two refrets with it thus far, and it seats firmly (assuming your fret slots are prepped properly) and evenly and the handfeel is natural and you can feel the fret seating as you clamp down. The presses leave plenty of room to veiw the seating process clearly.

I would buy again for the full 120 dollar price again without batting an eye, and i think you should do the same. This is a no brainer. No buyers remorse here, just another solid addition to the shop.

The only difference between the two would be SM version is a little "beefy-er". But ill be honest the Elmer feels better in my hand.

Thanks again to Elmer for making great luthier supplies at affordable prices that dont hinder your valuable shop time with lousy sub par workmanship that slows you down. You wont find that here.

I work in a string local shop where I have the old standard S.M. aluminum rectangular bender. I needed one for my home shop and came across this for a 3rd of the price. The threaded holes allowing you to attach it to your bench is something I didnt know i needed till I had it. And the radioused edges around the perimeter for a quick check is a super nice touch and makes everything super easy and all in one spot on your bench, which is huge. Oh yea, It bends great too 😉

Bought a few other things including a handheld fret press that works beautifully and im an Elmer fan here forward. Im not anti SM. They've gotten alot of my money over the years, and still do, and im picky about my tools. But km here tp say Elmer makes really solid stuff that im happy to have in my shop, and from what I can tell so far is worry free. Thanks guys! Included stickers on both orders are a nice touch!

This pin locator makes drilling for fender locking tuners a simple task.
Simply put the locators in two separate tuner holes, tighten down the self centering and Allen screws to lock it in place and drill the holes you need. Turned a 10 minute job into 2 minutes. Would recommend to anyone, especially mass manufacturers if cnc isn’t an option.

I installed the Trem Stopper on my Ibanez rg with a edge 2 tremolo, for tuning stability, it works great! I highly recommend Elmer Guitar.

This fret wire bender does a great job. Makes it easy to properly radius the wire.

This tool took most of the work out of filing the nut on a vintage Stat. It is extremely easy to use and very accurate. One of the best tools I have ever purchased!

The Jig is well made and works great.

Just make the investment it’s worth it! No more feeler gauges just zero it out on a straight edge set it in the fretboard in the correct fret and fine tune your adjustments.

We got this recently, so we have not used it a lot yet. However, we did use it a couple of times now and it works very well. It feels like a solid tool that will last for a long time, and at a very fair price. Thank you Elmer guitars

It does what it says. Granted, I had to replace the battery when it arrived, but still, 5 stars.

I received the product in a timely manner. The spreaders work great and help to speed up neck and fret work.

Quality product, item as described. Would recommend this seller!

Did the job as expected at a great price.

Worked perfectly, great service and delivery. Perfect for personal or professional use.
