NK Forster Guitars Luthier Fretting
Cutting frets to length, undercutting the tang, hammering in, sealing the ends of the slots with shellac. There have been many new ways of fretting invented, but I don't see what's wrong with the traditional method - newer ways seem overly complicated. Perhaps they suit people who are less confident about their handskills. By the fretting stage the most important and difficult part has been done - preparing the fingerboard so it has the correct radius and relief when under string tension ...
DIY Fretjob
People are usually turned off by the thought of having to do your own fretwork on a guitar kit. It is not hard! Finally, I decided to make a video to show how easy it can be. This method is very effective. I like it because I use a 24" level and it hits the whole fingerboard at once. I have done it with radius blocks and fret crowning files, using tools I spent big bucks on and I usually find a high fret I have to file down. This method uses hardware store tools costing very little and works ...

SXSJB62 Fret Level Test
I spent the last few days going over the frets on my SX-SJB62 Jazz bass. It was pretty bad out of the box. It had a bunch of high frets and a few that weren't seated too well. Prior to doing this is buzzed all over the place and the frets higher on the neck killed notes. Now it's playing great. Really comfortable, the action is just where I like it and it's no longer buzzing on held notes. I also recently used Citrus strip to remove the ugly orange tint from the neck. In adition to the fret ...
