Fingerboard Guards

These guards are better than tape because they will not tear and they can be bent over the sides of the fretboard, protecting the edge while finishing the end of the fret.

These fretboard guards are a must have. they make cleaning frets a fast job, eliminating time consuming taping.

These are a great idea - beats taping off a fingerboard by a mile. In conjunction with StewMac's ceramic polishing wheels (and polishing felts with jeweller's rouge) I can get a really high quality finish after a refret or reprofile. How could StewMac improve them? Well, they are too wide for the highest frets so a couple of thinner ones would be welcome - although trimming them with tin snips only took a few moments. I'd also like a narrower set for mandolins and banjos - the slots need to be narrower as well as the guards themselves.
