fretwork

You will see our step by step Fretwork process which leads to a sparkling finish and playing experience.

(Right) BEVEL:

First we bevel the fret edges to 25 to 30 degrees as apposed to 45 degrees that most tech's apply. This gives you the player more playing surface and eliminates the problem of the high E string from coming off the edge of the fingerboard while playing.

(Right) LEVELING:

The frets are completely leveled with a perfectly straight steel file.

FRET DRESSING:

All fret ends are rounded in a two step process; this removes all sharp edges to the outside edge of the fretwire.

POLISHING:

The fingerboard is then carefully taped off in preparation for the two step high speed polishing process which removes all file marks from the wire and applies the color or sheen to the wire.

 Beautifully finished frets ready for you the discriminating player.
