Frtlzr me mandó un pack de herramientas para dejar los trastes como nuevos: el Premium Fret Polishing Kit y el bloque para rematar extremos. Lo que más me convenció es lo bien pensado que está: protector de diapasón, bloque con forma de traste y lijas por pasos para llegar a un brillo espejo sin encintar toda la guitarra.

What Fran Canales says

What I received from the guys at Frtlzr, let's see what we have here, we have a couple of boxes okay, here we have some sandpaper okay This is the Premium Fret Polishing kit, we have this tool that basically has the shape of the fret here and that It will allow us to have a comfortable action on the guitar we will be able to use all these sandpapers to leave the frets perfectly smooth so that the guitar seems like new
Anyway this Frtlzr kit that we have here works for both nickel frets and stainless steel frets without any problem So now that we have the guitar without strings we are going to start polishing these frets The truth is that they are not super bad But we already have some indentation here they are not as bright as they should be and they do sometimes get a little stuck in the vibratos and this will surely help us to make them brighter and much smoother something else that I have not said before is that this Premium Polishing kit includes different sandpaper sheets basically to be able to go from, let's say, a slightly rougher finish to a perfect and smooth finish that is quite pleasant for the player
So now with the other hand we are going to hold the fretboard protector, we put it on the fret and we are going to pass it directly over the fret to see what effect it causes Well there you can see that the fret begins to balance a little, it begins to be much more homogeneous at the top Because also in these first frets I think it can be seen quite well in the second is where perhaps we make more chords and more this type of continuous pressures on the string and it makes us have these notches much more present before doing it on the entire guitar we are going to change the sandpaper sheet, so we will be able to see the difference between this first fret treated with the Frtlzr Premium Kit and the untreated second fret and now we move on to the 2400 grain sheet, we are going to sand it, we cover our fretboard again so that we don't damage it now it would be time to use the 4000 grain one, the truth is that It seems to me that they are well thought out because with this rubber we prevent the sandpaper from going everywhere and since this block has exactly the shape of the fret and it is also easy to grip, I don't know, it is becoming comfortable to me, almost as if I had done it many more times
It is a matter of, as these wear out, these sandpapers , then buy new ones, there is also an option to buy them individually on the Frtlzr webpage, which by the way I leave it in the description down below and now that I was talking about was quality, as I told you at the beginning, all the materials, everything we found in Frtlzr is made in Germany with the highest quality, and now that we have finished hard we are going to clean the fretboard a little bit, change the strings and we are back and now that we have our frets polished and the fretboard clean we are going to move on to our next tool that is the Fret End Block
if after watching my video you have any questions, you can go to the Frtlzr page and there you will find detailed tutorials on how to do all these jobs in a very simple way and in your house we gently sand the ends of the fret perfect now let's do the other side I'ts important not to apply too much pressure in order to avoid damage on the fretboard and the wood and therefore protect these areas of the guitar, especially in more fragile finishes like this one, which is made of nitrocellulose, so we don't scratch it, not damage it and that's good
