Fret dressing






No, it's nothing like a vinagrette. *(-;
Today, I started with the frets. First putting the guitar in the jig you see there. Adjusting the truss rod so that the neck is straight, and then the jig helps to brace the neck while the frets are sanded level. After that, it's time to crown them ... and I got to use the fancy shmancy diamond dust abrasive crowning file that I bought as part of my recent tool order. Once that's done, the frets are polished and the fretboard is cleaned up... looks good enough to eat, um I mean PLAY!
