A Tip For Spot Leveling Frets You Probably Didn't Know About

This is exactly how I spot level check my frets. One thing to add. The last fret can cause a lot of problems because it is used much less than the other frets. I always make sure that fret is just a bit lower than the others. It does not create any buzz being lower, but it sure does being too tall.

Great tip Chris. I am a long time subscriber and have learned a lot from your videos. It has been over 2 years since I watched any of your content as my shop is in storage awaiting moving into a nee space. Your current builds a beautiful and I dig the bridge tuners.

First video of yours that I have seen and I am now subscribed. I have never built a guitar that I play guitar and it's very difficult to find somebody who can fix my fretz for me so your tips and tricks are going to come in handy and helping me to fix my own frets

Very helpful use of fret rocker at first fret! Thank you for the tips!

I have been following you for years, each time I learn some interesting tips like this one! Greetings from France!

You sir have all the tricks! Can learn a hell of a lot watching your vids :) Awesome stuff as ever sir :)

I was going crazy thinking that I just didn't know how to cut the nut slots on higher strings, but apparently I was not putting enough pressure on the first fret when leveling. It seems so obvious in retrospect, your channel is an invaluable resource. Thank you!

Love your vids. I wondered how to check the 1st & last also, till now. Thanks again.

This is interesting, but from the title I thought we were going to see a new tip on how to actually level the fret... :(

Thanks for sharing. It's very helpful !

Great tip! I haven't seen this one before. Thanks.

Great stuff!

Great tip, thanks! If the last fret is a little too low, it doesn't really matter as there's no more frets to buzz against.

U sure have some great videos....wow that sure is a beautiful piece of maple for that neck and fret board. Years ago my friend was a logger here in Wisconsin and he ran into some beautiful birds eye maple....word got out about it and he had a violin maker that was very interested in the wood.The builder ask for a sample of the wood and turned it down.My logger friend said he ran the sample under his microscope and saw it had a mold and some type of fungus that was in the grain and would not use it in his violin builds. Cheers...!

Such quality work. 👍🏼
