MusicNomad Tracers Fret Erasers 6 pc. Finishing Kit for Sanding, Buffing and Polishing after Fret Crowning, Dressing or Beveling (MN860)

If you're new to minor fret work, this is a must-have! I did a small recrown on one fret of my Les Paul which was slightly high. I had NO experience with such fixes, but YouTube made me believe, and Music Nomad made the right tools! I used their fret crowning tool to take it down to the right height, then finished it off with this great tool. I was amazed how easy it was, and how good of a job it turned out to be!The Music Nomad tools and videos make it almost impossible to mess up. GET THE TOOLS if you want to do your own work and save hundreds from sending it to the shop (who probably use these tools too!). You can do it! Don't be afraid to spend on quality tools - they SAVE you money in the long run! I'll do all my own minor fret work from here on.

Only 4 grits to polish frets. Like the old sharkskin from Stewmac. Compared to the multiple grits of sandpaper and buff polish at the end, this process is a no brainer. Too easy. Paired with the Nomad crowning file frets look great. I still tape off to be safe but you really don’t have to if you go slow. Great tools all around.The downfall is the pad loops are pricy and use up quickly but the time savings is worth the cost

Very easy to use. Does what it is supposed to.

This item works great and as intended. Be sure this is what you want for the price. If you are going to do this for a living, you should get two guitars per pack of papers, ie…..(1-4). You can expect a high polish finish when done, however patience is the key here and do not press too hard. You do not want to have to start over on your fret job due to unleveling your frets due to too much pressure from your polishing technique.Regards,Frank.

I like the way this tool is designed. The fret eraser works great! The downside is the sandpaper replacements are very expensive!! I think the route I should have went was the slotted metal fretboard cover, and buying bulk ultra fine sand paper. I am trying to think if there is a way to super glue the bulk sandpaper to the correct size for the fret eraser, as it does work really well. The reason being is, you can really only get 2 polish jobs from a new set of papers. They come in 4 Micro-Mesh grits (1000, 3600, 6000, 12000) and cost $23 which means almost $12 for a polish job. I would give 5 stars if the replacements were not that expensive! Thats very pricey!

First time level, crown and polish.Fret Tracers were simple to use and the grits were sufficient to achieve a high polish without filling the peaks. I would use a block or file for fret ends the are sharp as the material can wear through. Great for a couple of guitars per set not really for a shop. I'll continue to use.

Very happy with this purchase. Just the finishing touch needed to finish fret repair!

This tool makes it easy to finish any fret job. Just start to polish with number one and finish with number four. Done and done.
