Convenient Way to Perform Fretwork on Your Instrument

The MusicNomad Grip Guards allow you to work on your instrument's frets while protecting your fretboard from files, abrasives, and other tools. You'll receive three Grip Guards to ensure flawless performance, even at the highest frets of your guitar, bass, or other stringed instrument. Their curved design helps them sit flush against any fretboard radius. And the comfortable grips enable you to hold the guard still without having to put your fingers anywhere near the fret. The MusicNomad Grip Guards are an extremely convenient luthier tool.

Stainless steel construction

All three of the MusicNomad Grip Guards are crafted from durable stainless steel. Not only does this ensure a long life, but the steel is non-magnetic to keep fret filings from sticking. They are also heat and corrosion resistant. Fretwork tools can perform some pretty aggressive work on your guitar. Make sure you protect your fretboard with these stainless steel Grip Guards.

Convenient 3-pack

With the purchase of MusicNomad's Grip Guards from Sweetwater, you'll receive three tools. Each guard is sized slightly differently to fit around various fret sizes, appropriately protecting the wood on your fretboard while still being able to fit between the narrow spaces on the higher frets. You'll even find the Grip Guard will work flawlessly on instruments as small as a ukulele.

Ergonomic handle

By installing a handle on the Grip Guard fretboard protectors, it gives you the ability to work on your frets without any obstruction from your fingers. It also keeps your fingers clear of files, abrasives, and blades. And their ergonomic design is easy to hold while caring for your instrument.

MusicNomad Grip Guards Features:

  • Set of 3 handheld fretboard guards
  • Made from non-magnetic, corrosion- and heat-resistant stainless steel
  • Each guard is gently curved for fretboard radius
  • Ergonomic handle keeps your fingers out of the way when working
  • Small enough to fit onto the highest frets of ukuleles

Rated 5/5

Very Well Made

These are excellent for protecting the fretboard while polishing or a little light filing of fret edges.
Much better and faster than using painters tape. Very nicely made and the handles are just great.
I am very pleased with these.
Rated 5/5

Great product

Really just does what one would hope. Why didn't someone think of handles before? Thank sweetwater and music nomad!
Rated 5/5

MUCH easier!

I've been doing fret work for over 35 years, mostly using the "standard" Fretboard Guards, the kind without handles. The hard part was always trying to hold onto them while sanding/buffing, or going through the hassle of holding them down with rubber bands and having to move 'em for each fret. I can work much quicker with these, hold the guard handle with one hand, buff with the other. Instantly move on to the next fret. Cool. Great price too.
