I like to give my frets a 2-step polish by first polishing them with Frine fret polish and then following up with 8000 grit polishing paper. The frets are very slick and shiny afterwards. They also seem to oxidize less between string changes. On a side note, I tried the String Stretcha and it really helped me. Thanks for the suggestion, Rob! 👍

What youre getting off the frets is oxidisation. Common for nickel frets, which i presume they are since they're not stainless

I've got the Nomad Frine polishing kit. I noticed they looked shinier afterwards, but the playing didn't really feel like drastically different. Bending was a bit easier, like i wasn't fighting it as much, I say fighting because of the absolute monster strings on that guitar. I had 13-60 for drop c on a gibson scale.
@nckhed Жыл бұрын
I use the same polish. I recommend following up with some 8000 grit polishing paper after using the Frine polish. The frets should be even slicker and shinier. As far as those strings you've got, you remind me of myself, lol. I LOVE the feel of heavy strings.
@WholeLottaBulldog Жыл бұрын
Polishing frets is a must for me now. Bends aren't scratchy afterwards, the guitar feels faster and I swear it even sounds better

Never polished frets before?😱 You pampered Sonna bish! I KID!😆 Hey just a heads up since it’s your first time, inspect your fret guards if you’re using the ones that came in the kit. I learned the hard way, many of the cheaper fret guards will have one side that is smooth, and the other side will have a small ridge. Make sure the smooth side is down against the fretboard when you polish so it doesn’t chew into your fretboard. First time I did it, I used the rough side down and it left lines on like 4-5 of the frets before I realized it. Luckily, it was an old cheap Squire when I did it. Would be tragic if that happened to one of the custom shops. The guards that came in the kit might be better quality where both sides are smooth like they’re supposed to be, but double check next time use them. The ones that I had back when I was 15 or so came from a super cheap maintenance kit and totally left some chew lines on my fretboard. For the longest time I used fine gauge steel wool which works great, but leaves quite a bit to clean up, and you have to make sure the metal flakes don’t get near your pickups… kind of a hassle. I’m actually about to make a video on that nomad “Freen” polishing kit. Would love to try that kit next. They appear to be a lot like fret erasers. Fret erasers also work pretty great, i just don’t like how they’re shaped. They feel awkward to hold when polishing. Those being a paper/cloth feel, seem way better. Anyway, turned out great!
@RobArnoldWorld Жыл бұрын
Great tip! Man that seems like poor design.... having a ridged or rough side to something that's supposed to not leave any type of foot print. Sheesh Yeah let us know about the Nomad kit! I'll look forward to your video!
@mcoon1987 Жыл бұрын
Wow, those were some dirty frets! Looks like that kit works really well. You can even see the light shining off them when you’re playing at the end. I think Stew Mac sells those little metal fret protector things if you ever need just those.

Dropped my Ibanez on its face a couple years back and dented 3 of the frets, meaning certain strings buzz when played in certain places.. could this kit help me restore the frets/remove the dings/dents? - or is this a mostly a "cosmetic" treatment?
@RobArnoldWorld Жыл бұрын
I'd say it's mostly a cosmetic treatment. But I suppose it depends on how bad/deep your dents are.

Dude I just found a LTD JD-600 (Jon Danais from Shadows Fall signature)from 2008 yesterday. I just went through it this morning and used this exact polishing method and it worked well. I've been jamming on it all day and haven't done anything productive hahahahah 😅 beast of a guitar. Now my collection would be completed if I can find a RA-600.

StewMac has a fret kit, I think it’s called a fret polishing kit. I’m gonna use it and a couple other tools Music Is Win used in his guitar setup and cleaning video, and get my Schecter Omen 6 ready for sale. Once that sold, I’ll hopefully be getting my hands on an(used) ESP LTD M-100FM 😎

If those frets aren’t steel, they could be nickel. My dad has had his guitar tech service the fretboard on his ‘68 Telecaster; my dad told me you really can’t service steel frets and file them down or something like that?

Cool vid, Rob. I too have never polished my frets. I’ve been hesitant due to concerns of damaging my ebony fretboards. If you like the way it turned out and it seems to make a difference for you than maybe I need to take a shot of courage and give it a try. 😃 You’ve never steered my wrong so far. 👍😍🫵 you are awesome. Have a great week.

Yeah no worries on the fret board, as the fret guard prevents contact. And honestly, this polishing paper is so fine, that I wouldn't even worry about it damaging the fret board. I wouldn't say the whole process is necessary in the grand scheme of things, but it's like having your car detailed after having it washed. The detailing isn't necessary, but it sure is nice😉👌
