Features
- Our patent pending Fret Shield gives you total fretboard protection when performing fret work such as polishing, leveling and crowning on a GIBSON® Electric Guitar Fret Scale up to 22 frets. The shield was custom designed to cover most GIBSON® Electric Guitars (Les Paul, ES-335, SG and more). Not designed for GIBSON® acoustics guitars. Say "no to blue tape" and save time and money with this reusable design that goes on in seconds, fully protects without damaging the fretboard and lasts 100's of fret jobs.
- The tapered custom design has slot sizes that measure in width for the first 12 frets .145" (3.683mm) due to creative fret placement by guitar makers, and the remaining 10 frets are .125" (3.18mm). First fret Length: 2.095" (53.217mm). Last fret Length 2.497" (63.417mm). Fits all fret sizes (from narrow to jumbo) found on 6 string guitars.
- Our high quality stainless steel is the perfect thickness at .008" (.20mm). We use a precision manufacturing process free of burrs and leaves all edges smooth and rounded, so it protects the fretboard without damaging it.
- Our innovative formed drop-down edges allow the rubber bands we include to hold the Fret Shield in place securely and keep the bands below the top surface to avoid damaging them during the polishing process. The bands also help perfectly form the shield to every fretboard radius.
- Rigorously tested and designed to be used with power buffing wheels, power polishing pads and other polishing systems. Laser etched logo and size will withstand sanding and filing during fretwork. Extremely useful for protecting all unfinished (rosewood, ebony) and finished (poly and lacquer) fretboards. Convenient hang hole.
