New Frets for an vintage Telecaster guitar. Here is my long announced Video about a guitar refret.
First of all ... There are a lot of different ways and methods to remove and install Frets on guitars and basses.This is not a typical "How to" Video..... it's more a "That's the way I prefer to do it" Video.
I will show you a couple of special Handmade tools that I use for this process and
try to explain some of my thoughts.
There will be also a very interesting "Fret polishing" experiment....
After the inspection I have noticed that the frets are really worn out and after leveling them this Instrument become more and more a "Fretless" guitar. The owner asked me to instal new frets to make it playable again.
This Instrument was refreted a couple of times and as a result the Rosewood Fingerboard become very thin. You can already see some side dots shining through from the surface of the Fingerboard.
So I have to be very carful at leveling the Fingerboard.
This is a quite tricky and time consuming repair and in this Video you can follow the whole process. I will also explain and show a couple of "Luthier Hacks" in this Video. So if you are interested in my Luthier Craftsmanship stay tuned and enjoy the Video. I love doing stuff like that - if you are interested in more of my Luthier life Projects, please feel free to check out my other extended Workshop Videos on this channel.
Enjoy watching and sharing.
Best Regards Nik
