A Clean and Precise Polishing Tool for Gibson Electric Frets
The MusicNomad MN801 "Fret Shield" (patented) is designed for guitarists and technicians who want a clean result when polishing frets, without wasting time protecting the fretboard with tape. Once in place, it covers the fretboard and leaves only the working area accessible, allowing for consistent polishing of the frets and minimizing the risk of accidental marks. Designed and tested to work with polishing pads, polishing discs, or any other polishing system, it fits various fret profiles, from narrow to jumbo, on 6- or 7-string guitars. Note: this version is dedicated to Gibson electric necks and cannot be used on Gibson acoustic necks.
