Key Dimensions and Compatibility

Dimensions and proper fit are essential when choosing a fretboard shield. The RockCare Sadowsky model accommodates most standard 4-string basses for both repairs and transport needs.

• When in use or during transport, the protector remains stable thanks to rubberized non-slip pads.

Transport and On-the-Go Protection
