What size file should I use to widen bridge slots for nylgut strings?
Thanks!

Here's a good link on filing bridge slots. banjohangout.org/archive/274221
Like many members suggest, I use a set of welding torch tip cleaners. 5 bucks or so at Home Depot and they do a good job.

I sometimes use a small three cornered file. Each face is abut 1/4" wide or so and the corners are fairly sharp. It will cut quite fast so needs to be used slowly. On a bridge a very sharp knife is the easiest way for me. Just cut a little down the side of each slot without making it deeper.
