D'Addario Accessories Fret Polishing System

It is super easy to use and works great! Made my frets shiny and smooth.

Arrives in a small D'addario paper/cardboard and plastic pouch container. Several 3"x3" squares you simply cut to smaller squares with scissors. Using the provided paper/cardboard die cut slots cover your fretboard leaving the single fret exposed for polishing and have at it. Used it on my COVID purchased Squier FSR Bullet Tele which out of the box had terrible fretwork (all 21 frets) but was later polished properly by a luthier. After much playing, the frets definitely needed some attention and after only a few seconds of polishing each one, they were back to a glass like smooth finish. No messy polish to deal with and simply wipe your frets with a clean cloth to make them all look like and feel amazing! I'd recommend doing this as your putting on fresh strings, you'll be surprised how well your new strings play and feel! You get enough polish cloth to do at least 6-8 guitars minimum so it's less than a dollar per guitar.

These work! Especially good for funky guitars bought used, or new guitars where the manufacturer doesn't seem to care a lot about fret polishing (ahem, the biggest guitar company's lower priced line). If frets are particularly gritty these won't solve that problem, you'll need an 0000 level abrasive product, but for shining up dull frets or giving a final polish these work. The fingerboard protector is cardboard, like a string package, but I bet it will last long enough to go through the polishing sheets in the pack. Great for the price.

It's a lot of work but I think these give a nicer shine than using erasers alone. Cardboard fret cover is a nice thought but I just used steel fret covers meant for this.

I noticed corrosion on the frets of my guitar and I was looking for something simple to be able to fix it. I found this product on Amazon and gave it a try when I was changing the strings. It worked great without any additional tool. It comes with a nice template to protect your freatboard, but I used masking tape anyway. I am happy with the result and I highly recommend this. See the pictures for reference.

This product is a bit pricey for what you get. I used an entire sheet on my Squire Strat using the provided fret template cut-out. That this lasted about 2/3 of the way through the job. Best to use tape or fret guard. While the sheets do polish the frets, it takes much work and patience. Don't expect anything more than a good fret clean. These sheets won't do anything for even minor scratches on frets. Fine sandpaper or even fret erasers may yield better results.

I am ashamed to have let my guitar frets get to this point but I'm glad I found this easy polishing kit so I can make my Guitar look brand new again! It really works, did think much of it seeing as it's now expensive. Would be buying again if I ever let my guitar get to this point once more lol

These are a great step to add to your string changing routine. They aren't going to cut though 20 years of grime, but absolutely make a difference, especially on well loved guitars. I cut mine into small strips for ease of use and to be frugal. I can do a whole neck with just over 1 sheet. The only reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is that the "template" is just a thin piece of cardboard that wears out after 3 or 4 uses. Definitely buy these. They can give a little bit of life to an older guitar.
