  • @manzariluca No problem! :)

  • @davtones Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it's always a pleasure to learn from the experience of others : ) especially when sharing is done in such a polite and useful way ^^

  • @manzariluca The way he shows in the video isnt a great way to bend fretwire by hand. A better way is to use a pair of end nippers to hold the fretwire loosely by the tang then use your hand to bend it ( thumb on tang, others on crown). If you grab the fretwire with vise grips like he does there is a chance that you will scratch the crown of the fret and/or bend the tang the wrong way. Also you should slightly over radius the fret rather than matching the fretboard radius like he does.
