Oasis Nail Shaper

Oasis

For classical guitarists or guitarists who play finger style with nails, this nail shaper is a must have tool.

Each of the four foam pads is mounted on a curved hard plastic base that allows the user excellent control to shape their nails just the way they want.

Less aggressive than the normal nail shaping products the Oasis enables you to obtain an excellent playing surface, much better than plain foam shapers.

I have never used a shaper that has done a better job!

Review.

Nail shaping is crucial to playing the classical guitar, the nail having the final contact with the string and the profile and polish of the nail having a real effect on the tone produced.

There are of course many products available for shaping nails including emery paper that can be bought relatively inexpensively from hardware stores. The problem with most files is that constant adjustment of the finger is necessary to get the correct angle and edge, and emery papers need support to file against to be properly effective.

While filing it is easy to lose the idea of the shape and line that is needed.

This Nail Shaper is the perfect answer as it has been carefully thought out to meet the task required.

There are four surfaces and each one has a separate ‘bevel’ or curve that enables the player to create a smooth, continuous sweep when shaping and polishing. Each curve also has a slight spring to it so that the dangers of flat spots and over filing are drastically reduced. It is easy to see what you are doing and the nail remains supported without having to turn the file or twist your hand to get the desired line.

A great tool in the never-ending battle with nails!

String Plates

Tying the strings to the bridge has always posed a number of problems, both in terms of function and aesthetically. Guitar makers have experimented with various solutions over the years, some of them only partial and some extremely complicated. String-Plates solve all such problems, easily and without requiring any modifications to the guitar.

When a string breaks or becomes untied - as often happens with the trebles - it can very easily lash against the soundboard, creating deep grooves in the wood. String-Plates solve this problem, in that even if the knot becomes untied or the string breaks, there is no lash effect on the soundboard.

The very form of the traditional knot changes the angle of the string on the saddle. This angle is very important for the balance of forces at play on the soundboard, and directly affects the sound. With the use of String-Plates this angle is left unchanged, at what is calculated to be the correct angle when the instrument is being built.

The traditional way of tying the strings, though commonly used, covers and damages the design of the cordal block. String-Plates do not damage the cordal block or interfere with its design.

Marcelo Raij. Guitarist and String-Tie creator

I have fitted String-Tie's to my Kevin Aram guitar and have been using them for over one year. I realise this is not a scientific test yet I do feel my guitar is more responsive and playing is a little easier.

If you are uncertain I would say try them, they may not make a difference to your guitar but then they may and for me that is a good enough reason.
