Safe, Fast, Reusable: The Total Fretboard Protector Guard When Fret Polishing - Fret Shield™

Music Nomad

collapse expand iconDescription

MusicNomad's Fret Shield sets a new standard for total fretboard protection when fret polishing. No need for blue tape with Fret Shield's reusable design that goes on in seconds, fully protects without damaging the fretboard and lasts hundreds of fret jobs. Its high-quality stainless steel is the perfect thickness at .008" (.20 mm), uses a precision manufacturing process free of burrs, and leaves all edges smooth and rounded. Fret Shield's innovative drop-down edges allow the included rubber bands to hold the Fret Shield in place securely, and keep the bands below the top surface to avoid damaging them during the polishing process. Fret Shields come in the most popular fret scale sizes, and even include a convenient hang hole. Whether your fretboard is finished maple or unfinished rosewood with inlays, Fret Shield will protect it.
