Fingerboard Band Clamp


Read 17 Reviews   |   Write a Review

An ingenious idea borrowed from violinmakers, these economical clamps are a quick, efficient way to glue a fingerboard onto a neck. You won't need to spend time making cumbersome custom-shaped wooden cauls trying match a radiused fingerboard surface, either. The toothed outer surface of the flexible glue-resistant band engages a threaded plastic thumbnut that adjusts the clamping pressure. The flexible cradle conforms to the instrument's neck to help protect the finish.

How easy was that?

after making a mess of my first attempt I brought 12 of these bad boys and got the job done! due to the fact that it wraps around it allows you to line up the fret board with the neck nice and easy. 4 stars as a little more pressure would have been ideal. I still used a standard clamp for the heel and reccomend one of these clamps every other fret

Alignment Wonders

These clamps are great for aligning a fingerboard, or anything else you need to glue to a rounded profile, but they definitely don't have the strength to apply the necessary pressure to glue the board up, so you'll still need to use other clamps along with these to get the job done.

Not thrilled

These clamps are OK-but not for me. I prefer a clamp that gives equal pressure across the width of the fretboard. These clamps give great pressure to the edges, but totally miss the top.

sorry not a fan....

didn't really care for these... I use 12" sanding blocks as cauls for the top and I tried to use these to keep things aligned while getting the cauls in place... they just got in the way... also don't seem to have the clamping pressure needed to do a good job... just my opinion, your results may vary of course :)

Great clamps

These are great clamps and I was VERY surprised at the amount of pressure that you apply with these. So far I used these with two fret board glue ups…I am not sure how long they will last though…but the price is right! I just wish a bought more; I suggest using 1 at every other fret space.

Fantastic!!!

Used these to hold the radius sanding block on a re-fret to hold 5-6 frets down for the glue to set. Worked like a charm!

Fingerboard band clamp

I thought the clamps did a very nice job.A little time consuming putting them on but well worth it.
