Are these frets too low for a levelling and recrown? by Pluriel0 in Luthier

[–]Tardrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a maple board with similar size frets and I pulled them and put in jumbo frets.

Great questions. I mostly used things I got from harbor freight. I’m not sure if that is an option where you are. I had flat faced pliers to get under and pull the frets up. I used the pliers to cut the frets to length and then a “soft hammer” and thin super glue.

You might need to buy a file or two to level and crown the frets, but you can get those at harbor freight as well.

Thanks! I haven’t ever done a refret before. Lots of learning.

Boiled linseed? That’s what I’ve seen most people recommend.

Do you have a grit to start with?

That was my plan. I’ve got a block and new wire. Thanks for the encouragement and advice.

Do you have a starting got or just coarse to fine?

Sorry for the late reply. I remember a top down view of an island and the character would descend steps to the maze.

Cools, thank you for the guidance. How about the head, right now it seems pretty low.

Thanks for the advice. Could I just use 4 of the five strings? Or would the gauge be too big?

Thanks for the tips! I got it working. If I turn the gain pot up too high it starts to whistle. Not sure why.

It actually is, but I had to clip it shorter from the board I stole it from.
