    Fret leveling spot corrections?

    It seems like the 22nd fret is a bit high on one side of my fretboard. When I drop the action nice and low, three or four frets before it start to choke out until the 20-21st frets just sound the note of the 22nd and the 23-24 are fine. Is it possible to just run a sanding beam across the last...

    Ibanez RGDR4327

    Hello! I'm on the hunt for a new guitar, and I've been looking at the Ibanez RGDR4327 for a while now. I would like to have a MIJ good ''high-end'' guitar since I've never had one before. Before I make the decision and do the purchase I want to know some stuff about it or similar guitars...

    Fret buzz question from beginner

    Hey all, new to this forum. I haven't been playing 7 string for that long. I just put on some new strings .10-59s and I am getting buzz on the 5th string between frets 2 and 7 and the 6th string frets 1 to 9 and the 7th string frets 2 to 12. The other strings are fine and my action is really not...

    9 String Guitar With Extra Frets To Avoid Fretboard Irregularities In (drop) Tunings

    When I started playing 9-string guitar, I was trying out a couple of tunings until I found what I consider best for me: BEBEADGBE (7 string standard + drop E, as many 8-string players are using it, + another B, the same as on a 5-string bass). This tuning is merging the best parts of a 5-string...

    BNGD: Jackson Kelly content

    Initiating my plan to have a collection of Jacksons because Why Not™, this came with a few flaws and frustrations. Had to change the whole bridge because I had to learn that licensed Floyds are pure :taunt::poop:the hard way. Plus the frets are absolutely ugly and the upper ones have some weird...

    Re-fretting question: Does tang width matter?

    I'm no luthier, so excuse the dumb question, but does tang width matter when re-fretting? Small/low/Med-Jumbo/Jumbo we all know the actual size of the frets, which goes down to personal taste, but what about the slots for the frets? Will the glue take care of it or the width should be close to...

    Unsure of fret type/possible crown issues?

    Hey guys- I have what I think is a rather unique issue. I just picked up a mint condition Aristides 080. (for the curious, it's an AMAZING piece of engineering, as well as instrument.). BUT- after a few days of serious play time, something was "off". (my main basis for comparison are 2...

    True Temperament frets in EADGCF

    Hey there guys I have a question regarding the true temperament fretting system. I have been thinking about getting a six string with true temperament frets. But since I tune in all fourths, EADGCF, I am thinking that this would negate the effect of the true temperament or maybe even make it...

    Ibanez RG652 Frets Issues

    Hi, Week ago I bought new Ibanez RG652FX, and i was playing it almost every day. But today I saw that frets start to be more flat. Is this normal? How could it be possible that frets start to wear on MIJ Ibanez after week? Pics:

    The Chronicals of Modding: the Squier, the Maple, and the Bondo.

    I literally have soooo many bodies from Squier Strats that I have pillaged for parts, and I was tired of looking at the pile of them... So this happened. I know a forum member here who basically did the same thing, which was documented on a different forum.So, if you're watching, keep quiet. So...

    Ibanez and Fret Tangs

    When and why did Ibanez stop leaving the tangs in on the fret ends? I feel like the pre-2000's models had their best fretwork(and overall quality) and they all have the visible tangs unlike the recent years' models. Even the production-Indo models from the 90's had them and those guitars...

    Some pics of my new Microtonal 7-string

    Still not perfect, but getting better. This guitar, the Douglas Grendel 7-string from Rondo music, gets a bad rep. Mine arrived in pretty poor condition, but I knew I would be converting and fixing it anyways. I installed pickup rings (the stock pickups sound good, at least I think so) and the...

    7 string microtonal guitar

    I am doing my first full conversion, I just finished installing the frets on my buddy's 7 sting LTD. The swirls in the rosewood give an optical illusion that some of the frets arent straight, but my digital calipers confirm that they are placed properly. I still have to level and crown the...
