Fingerboard Damager not Saver
mjmorrell 07.01.2018
Bought these to protect my fingerboard whilst doing fretwork.
Unfortunately these had the opposite to the desired affect to saving the fingerboard. The metal savers have burrs on the edge and so they cause fine cuts into the fingerboard of my expensive PRS guitar. I then had to sand these out. After noticing this after doing a few frets I stopped using them and went back to using masking tape.
I would advise not using these at all as they may damage your guitar as they did to mine. I would like to know if Thomann or Warwick are going to compensate for the damaged guitar?
Overall not impressed at all, they don't even deserve 1 star since they actually damaged my guitar which I then needed to repair. Waste of money and worse than if they were just useless.

Not that great
DT1980 30.03.2020
I bought these to protect the fingerboard during the polishing of the frets. But these things are so sharp that you have more chance damaging the fretboard than without them. Not practical in use either, a real hassle to put them on the board.
Tried them a few times, but never use them anymore.

I think these will mark your fretboard
Eugene M. 13.01.2023
I normally mask off the fretboard and use fret rubbers and very fine sandpaper to do frets. I got these as I reckoned they would be faster. They would be I suppose but after doing a few frets on a guitar I began to notice very small little cuts in the fretboard where these 'savers' had been applied for fret cleaning/polishing. So, I stopped using them and went back to my old but slower method. I am a guitar tech and do a lot of guitars and feel these might be ok to use on a cheapo guitar you have modded to go out gigging with but in all honesty, I will not be using them on a mid or expensive level guitar again. The slower and older way is better and will never leave marks.

Kinda flimsy, difficult to use
nikreiman 19.01.2022
These fingerboard savers are more likely to scratch the fretboard than a fret file. They are a bit flimsy and have sharp-ish edges. I don't bother with them anymore.

Set completo y perfecto para cuidado ocasional de los trastes
Megaforce 01.05.2024
Hay muchos que se han quejado de los bordes afilados de estas planchuelas. No fue mi caso, pero todo se solucionaría poniendo una fina capa de cinta en sus bordes, ya que lo importante es que el traste sobresalga para poder ser tratado.
Es apropiado para un uso ocasional. De usarse muy seguido, hay en el mercado opciones de uso más cómodo.
Aparte del ahorro en cinta de enmascarar (o de papel) y de tiempo, dicha cinta siempre deja residuos, por lo que también te ahorras una limpieza de los mismos.

Hmmm, they do work but!!

They do work but after a few uses, you need to be careful of burrs scratching your fretboard.

Personally painters tape is a safer way

Very handy
mystovski 25.01.2024
These are nice, edges smooth enough to not cut the rubber bands. All good! I'm a bit confused about the block, were I supposed to crown my frets with this?

Does the job.
Burlo 10.02.2022
I read reviews about these having a rough surface but mine were fine. There’s a smoothing stone included in the box if you need to deburr anything.

Reasonable good enough
Odd Gunnar 24.10.2022
Those make my life much easier now when i when i do maintance on frets. Fits most of frets. To notice. May need some filing/sanding when ends are a bit sharp. Other than that top price and quality.

Good product.
Michalko 29.03.2021
Quality of protecting plates is great as you would excpect, I use them at each polishing of frets. Only the material of rubber bands is questionable. They almost melted over some time. However I do not used them that much.
