Foam polishing pads for guitar finishing

For a guitar finish repair, Dan Erlewine shows how he uses these low cost foam buffing pads in a hand drill. You can see why you'd want a separate pad for each buffing compound.

hello ... i buy products from you site all the time and i was wondering ... how much sustain does and angled headstock actualy add as compared to flat headstock

@caulinrocker1 Thanks for your question. Opinions differ on this subject, so we turned to Erick Coleman for his answer: “It’s just as common for a guitar without a pitched peghead to have more sustain than another one with. And the wood itself has as much affect on tone and sustain as the building technique. (And tone is a matter of preference, too!) There are many amazing-sounding-Fender-style guitars out there, so no one method is better than another."

@caulinrocker1 unless the headstocks a bit bigger not much honestly I think its cosmetic if not. There's many ways to add sustain such as bolting in the pickups like van halen .. a new bridge like a Kahler or even just new thicker strings.

@caulinrocker1 My guess would be zero
