i see you have ball-end frets. how'd you make them?
do you install and then file them or do you trim + round'em up before you put them in?
cuz i tried the first method and destroyed a fretboard with that
I do each fret first. So I use a micrometer to measure the width of the fret slot, cut the fret to that length, file the ball-ends, then install the fret. Takes ages but it feels really nice, and its so nice knowing that there's no more work needed on the fret ends once they're in![]()
