MusicNomad GRIP Premium Fretboard Guards (MN225)

The thing I hated the most about having to polish my guitars frets was the prep work. Pretty much just taping around the frets to avoid rubbing compound into the fretboard. It would turn a 5 minute job into a 15 minute job. Plus not to mention the wasted tape on each guitar. These guards make the process so much easier and faster. They come in three different fret thicknesses, but both my guitars only use the middle size. Its still nice to have the extra ones though. Some people said they are really flimsy, which they kinda are, but when you polish, youre ot supposed to apply much pressure. Its all about repetition, so they do the job as long as you dont push down too hard. Overall, I think these are a must have tool for any guitarist, especially if you have multiple guitars and do your own maintenance.

Got this so I could do my own maintenance on my guitars. It's funny that when you buy a brand new guitar most of the time they don't come prepared like you would want them so it's nice to be able to do it yourself and not pay that extra cash. Definitely recommend this. Watch a couple of reputable videos and do it yourself

One of the most indispensable tools you’ll need if you do any of your own setups, maintainable, or repairs, are fret guards. Several different kinds out there, and these have what most others don’t, which is a handle to hold them in place. They work VERY well. A word of warning though. These fit very precisely over the fret wire that most modern guitars will have. Among the three included widths/sizes. They’re a little too long however than most all fretboards will be. Meaning when you lay a guard over a fret, with the neck laying on your bench running from your left to right, and the frets vertical on front of you… there is some of the guard’s slots that aren’t filled with the fret. Why is this important? And why is it important to be THIS specific? With the guard fitted over the fret, if you were to take a fret rubber or 0000 steel wool to polish your frets, you’ll be rubbing across the fret & up and down in your field of view. Unless you hold the fret guard down with STRONG pressure… the edges of the thin metal the guard is made out of, can dig or cut into your fretboard. Leaving you a nasty surprise when you lift the fret guard away. It’s a good idea to tape the guard down in place so that it can’t slide up and down along the frets, to insure that doesn’t muck up your fretboard. If it happens it IS fixable, but it will take some serious work and skill.

Great value

These work great when you dressing or just Polishing frets. Saves you having to tape the fret board for a quick polish. I would purchase again, but shouldn't need to.

Nice set. Works well.

They're great for guitars and 4-string basses! But I bought them for wider 5- and 6-string basses—their frets are much wider!

Excelente calidad

C'est bien mais je trouve le métal bien trop fin donc si on appui trop l'autre extrémité se relève et ne sert plus à rien donc il faut y aller doucement. Je ne trouve pas le prix justifié en règle général pour tous les produits de cette marque bien trop chère (même si c'est pas mal)

They're light duty, and will likely break soon at the joint of the handle (I'm not so delicate) but they are the best fret guards I've used in 20 years. From mandolins to guitars to basses, these are fantastic. And save time (MONEY) on your fretwork! No need for masking in most cases.

Qualidade além do esperado. Fiquei surpreso com o produto.
