Fret polishing...

05/29/2022

Progression of a bone nut manufacture by hand only.

Frets finally done. Took longer than expected. Bone nut tomorrow...

Step 6 done. Step 7 has at least 4 sub-steps. Sanding and 0000 steel wool to actually finish the job. Tedious but necessary for best results. First fret done. Still long way to go. But worth it.

A side note about the blue guitar I’m working on- The finish work is nowhere near done. We decided to do this phase of the build before completing. You’ll get to see this finished product in a few weeks and it will blow your mind

A little glimpse into before and after on the crowning process. This is when it starts taking some time to get right. This is step 5 by the way. And still nowhere near done. We will get there soon enough.

Steps 3-5 done. 30 degree bevel first. Easy. Leveling, not so easy. Had to get really aggressive with that file. If you zoom in, you will see some frets had an enormous amount taken off to get level. And the 12” radius applied. That’s enough for tonight. I’ll get into the crowning process tomorrow. Peace out people!!

Step 1 and 2 done. Level the neck and mask before putting the first file to it. Ensures a nice unscarred fingerboard. BTW, this is how you do a proper fret job. More to follow...

Okay, so the map is right. It pins 505 Augusta Ave. 37920. The text is WRONG. I AM NOT AT 5004 MARGUERITE RD ANYMORE AT ALL!!!’
That is all. Have a good day!

Now installing some Lollar pickups in a Reverend Tele. This baby is going to sound great when I’m done. The neck is butter on this guitar too!
