I got one of these fret end files a few years back and have made many guitar fret ends smooth which stops your hand from being tortured. For whatever reason cheap guitars often have sharp frets and this fixes them in a few minutes. Well worth it especially without the typical $10 shipping.

The "for whatever reason" is simply the lower end guitars are not going to have the time spent to perfectly level the frets, crown and file the fret ends nicely. The higher end the guitar the more hours are put into the fretwork. One of the main reasons Custom Shop guitars are so costly and play so much better. IMO you're on the right track. Give me a "good guitar" I'll spend the time doing the grunt work and in the end have a heck of a player for a fraction of the cash

Thanks, OP. Shipping is usually a deterrent to my ordering from them.

What do y'all think of the "StewMac Ultimate Shine Guitar Care System?" I've looked into what I should be using and consensus seems to be just soap and water and this stuff is a waste of money. Still, I don't mind spending the money if it's a good idea to use it.

What do you think?

I've tried their preservation polish and the other stuff they have, and I only use water now (no soap). One of my high end acoustic guitar maker says to use only water with a microfiber cloth, so I value that opinion and it works for me. I give mine a going over after every use, which is daily. YMMV

I've actually found some auto detailing products work great with guitars. Meguiers detail spray is a good one for cleaning guitar bodies and frets.

I have polished guitars but I use a non abrasive polish from a company called klasse and that can really shine up a guitar without taking any finish off. The klasse is more of an acrylic based anti oxidation polish. I like it on clear plastic surfaces but even lacquer or clear coated surfaces it's great.

Cool. Thumbup

There's a lot of info on the web for different products both pro and con, and I'm sure a good number of them do a fantastic job, and it sounds like you found one that works good. My primary fear is of chemical additives that prevent glue or finishes from adhering in some as of yet unforseen repair. The stuff from Stewmac are said to be safe from all of that, and hopefully the products that you described are as well.

Personally - and just my own opinion FWIW and for my own personal purposes, water only is the only thing I'll use. My acoustic guitars are expensive and I try to take over the top care of them, but I use them as players' guitars and not for show pieces. My goal is to keep the crud from playing from accumulating and to keep them in good condition both in playability and appearance. But I can't keep them with a presentation condition mirror shine. I wish I could, but I'd never be able to play them the way I need to. A quick scrub down with water and a soft microfiber cloth and a light buffing with a soft dry microfiber cloth after playing gets 'er done for me, and they look great.

Pick on! Peace
