    I bought the set of 4. And they work very well. They saved me a ton of work. I was able to spot level frets with the 150 grit and shape and crown the frets with ease. Then Polish the frets down with 180,400, and 1000 grit. So far I’ve been done 2 necks with them. And should be able to do many more. I’ll definitely buy these again. Thank you so much SOLO. Your team is excellent!!

    Exactly as expected. Saved a ton of time and did a perfect job. I only intended to do one guitar, but will do more now that I have the tools. I bought the set of 3 and that works perfectly. The higher number for final polishing just like sandpaper numbers. This is a must-have for those working on re-fretting or re-setting frets. I even took my Yamaha 12 string guitar and cleaned up the frets with these. Never looked better or sounded so good.

    I just bought a 4 pack of these. I’m happy with the purchase. The erasers are a lot cleaner and faster than using steel wool and sand paper.

    I bought the set of 3. They worked well to smooth the frets after using a sanding beam. I don’t think they cut as fast as sandpaper, but that is not a bad thing. Getting to a mirror shine will still require buffing with a cloth wheel or ultra fine sandpaper or micro mesh sanding pads. These are definitely less messy than steel wool.

    A really great tool for quickly getting a decent, very playable, polish on your frets. If you’re using a crowning file on your frets, you may want to use sandpaper to remove the scratches before moving onto these erasers. If you want a mirror like polish, you’ll need to either buff with polishing compound or use micromesh as mentioned above, but at that point it’s merely aesthetics. The erasers will basically conform to the shape of the fret – with that being said if you’re new to using them you may want to cover up your fretboard with tape or use an individual fret protecter.

    These are awesome for cleaning offf grimy old oxidized frets. Also does a nice polish after crowning if you’re patient, but as some other reviewers mentioned, a bit of sandpaper first will get rid of those file marks.

    Not a lot I can add here that hasn’t been mentioned already . I recommend this for any guitarist.

    I have some stu-mac ones as well, and I like these better. I would have liked a 220 instead of the 180 grit and maybe a 600 grit one to bridge the gap to the 1000.

    The 150 is surprisingly versatile. I use it for fret ends but also to roll the edge of fingerboards to give a more worked in feel. The price is a bit dear but these should last a long time. They seem more durable than the other brand I have and should last a lifetime.

    I bought the three pack because I’m cheap . Figured I didn’t need the 150 grit for my project and was right . I thought they would polish a bit more . I use this very old very fine polishing cloth that came with a guitar cleaning kit . That thing is amazing . Well the fret rubbers do work for a rough to medium finish anyway quite well . For a irrigation shine you’ll have to do something else .

    The irrigation part was to be mirror , damn spell check

  14. John Kukulsky (verified owner)

    These worked great! I am very pleased with the results. They do the job I was hoping for, highly recommend.

    Bought the set of 3, they are great for final polishing but you should use fine grit sand paper first in order to remove as many tool marks as possible before using these.

  16. Robert Laite (verified owner)

    These work great at removing tooling marks after a fret leveling or a crowning. Make frets look great. If there was one or even two higher grits available you could polish the fryers up to a mirror shine and I would give them 5 stars.

    Purchased the set of 3. I only used the 400 and 1000 grits. Wish there was a grit between those two.
