Usefull little thingies

V_Korneev 09.05.2018

I used similar handmade fingerboard protection pads for a simple fret leveling for a long time: they are not a panacea, but definitely can save your time and a fretboard.

These particular ones are somewhat flimsy and too ?generically-universal? to fit a guitar neck precisely, but they do their job, so if you don?t want to make such fret savers yourself, use these.

There are two of these things in a pack. Just bend one of them to a ?]-shape? to fit your guitar neck snugly, leave another flat, put some protective tape on the side metal contacts a fretboard, and you are ready to fix your frets.

Great time saver

Yago Trillo 29.09.2020

This fingerboard saver does its job. The rubber bands are useless, you can use it without them. I've used them on several guitars and basses (Fender PBass) and even on smaller instruments (mandolins, banjos etc). If you want to do a really clean job I would still use some drafting tape on top of the fretboard to protect it from light scratches since this things are made of metal. If you wiggle it too much while using it, it can leave some light marks on the wood.

I've used these a thousand times and still will. I always useit on every string set change. It really speeds up the fret polishing moment.

Works ok but may scratch the finish.

TrEr 20.10.2019

These may seem like a great idea but being made of metal with sharp edges they can actually scratch the finish if you're not careful. We're only talking about minor scratches and certainly better than driving a file into the fretboard but on some fretboard materials it may still be an issue.

The rubber bands won't last long unless you're VERY careful but it's just as effective (and actually faster) to just press it down using your hand instead.

Using this product is certainly faster than using masking tape but I'm not convinved that it's better. It's very convenient for doing some quick fretwork on my own cheaper instruments but I probably wouldn't use it for professional work.

Perfect for the job

General Ni 11.08.2017

It does very well what is supposed to do, which is to protect the fretboard, so yes it's the perfect tool for that! Also it's not too hard and thick, so it bends easy and it follows the radius of the fretboard and let you work nice with the fret. The only con that I found is that the rubber that comes with it, is pretty useless because it bends it way too much and makes it impossible to use, but it's not a big deal since you can use it without it. And of course there's two of them! I highly recommend it!
