The Fret Buck was developed by the Taylor Guitar factory, as a shock absorber for installing frets on the portion of the fingerboard over the body of a round-hole acoustic guitar.
This heavy cast iron tool rests on the shoulders of the guitar and reaches through the soundhole to provide firm support beneath the fingerboard extension. Those last few frets can safely be hammered into place — formerly a risky operation!

The Fret Buck has an adjustable clamp and is cork-lined to protect the guitar's finish. It absorbs the energy of hammer blows, protects the guitar's top, and helps the frets go in (and stay in) better. Fret jobs go faster too, without the need for widening the slots and adding glue to the highest fret positions.
