  • Wow, i gotta get that fret kit, eventho i have no idea how to fret a guitar...................yet! lolz

  • Awesome overview. The only thing I would suggest for do-it-yourselfers purchasing the kit would be Micro-Mesh Soft Touch Finishing Pads for a final mirror-like shine on the frets.

  • I'm so disappointed with the fret cutter that came with the kit. I was doing a bound fretboard so i needed to cut the excess tangs. Installed 1 fret so far and the cutter's ends are already chipped!!! Total waste of money.

  • Do this add on an archtop guitar with glued on neck

  • people be wise, don't go and just buy something because it is so neatly advertised on stewmac. lot's of it are just good old tools from a hardware store with a few modifications that can be made yourself. the only trouble you might have are the precision milled tools, but hey it's still cheaper to buy stock steel and have it machined in your local shop than buying a sanding beam for $100. the day I saw that on their site I lost my respect for their business. shame on you

  • He makes it look so easy. What a BS.

  • Is it really that easy? Seriously! If so, I will buy. But i am doubtful.

  • @modfather1965 Where do you see them that cheap? Everywhere I look, a decent fret file goes for $30-$40 on it's own.

  • Why are there two holes in the fret rocker? I must confess that I just use them to bolt the thing securely to the inside lid of my fret toolbox.
