Archtop setup

My 175 is new, but I'd like to polish the frets. What should I use? There's absolutely no ware in the frets yet.

Search for Gorgamyte.


This guitar spent three years in Afghan. Completely dried out. Brought to life with Gorgamyte


It rejuvenates all woods, before....


After.


After a fret dress.


Shiney shiney....

The formula has changed in the last 3 years but it still as good. A pal went to New York and I asked him to buy 4 packs for me.

Other than that 0000 grade wire wool on the fret with one of those fret template things...

Thanks kenbennett . I love jazz guitars so this place is the greatest.

@Jazzbow, does that fret do-hicky fit the frets higher up the guitar?

I s'pose so, I don't use those as I always mask the fret board when I do a fret dress.

The Gorgamyte works well so I use that instead

I can't find any information about what Gorgamyte actually is aside from a cloth "chemically treated" with lemon oil. Is there anything else to it?

You can get them in different widths... I have a wider one and a narrow one for higher up.

It originally did have something 'extra' in it but the latest stuff is good too
