Stainless Steel Guitar Fretboard Protectors – Set of 2

The guitar fretboard protector is an essential tool for fretwork, polishing and maintenance. During these operations, the fingerboard is particularly exposed to scratches and chips. This guitar fretboard guard helps protect your instrument effectively while allowing you to work precisely.

Made from stainless steel, these fretboard guards offer excellent resistance to wear and abrasive tools. Their rigidity provides reliable protection while remaining thin enough not to interfere with detailed work. Each guitar fretboard protector is designed to fit most standard frets.

The set includes two complementary sizes:

• 78 x 22 mm for wider fret spaces
• 78 x 13 mm for narrower fret spaces

These two sizes provide effective guitar fretboard protection along the entire neck, regardless of position. The 3 mm slot fits most frets, while the 0.5 mm thickness offers a good balance between protection and precision.

Using it is simple: position the guitar fretboard protector over the fret space you are working on before filing, sanding or polishing. This prevents direct contact between the tool and the fingerboard.

Whether you are a professional or an enthusiast, this tool quickly becomes indispensable in the workshop. It helps you work neatly, reduce mistakes and improve the overall quality of your finishing work.

In addition, the guitar fretboard protector is especially useful during final polishing, when fine abrasives can quickly mark an unprotected fingerboard. It is suitable for lacquered maple fingerboards as well as rosewood or ebony. This guitar fretboard protection therefore helps preserve the instrument's original appearance while ensuring clean, controlled work.
