I NO LONGER WORK FOR THE MUSICIAN'S DEN, I NOW RESIDE AT THE GUITAR LAB, YOU CAN CONTACT ME EITHER HERE ON YOUTUBE OR BY SENDING A MESSAGE TO JASON@THEGUITARLAB.COM

Jason from The Musician's Den in Evansville, IN demonstrates building a stratocaster style parts guitar from a Warmoth neck and body. In part 10, the neck is mounted to the neck jig body block and we remove the finish from the fret tops so that we can get an accurate reading with a straight edge.

  • Is there any reason that since the frets are going to be leveled anyway, to scrape the off the finish on the tops of the frets?

  • @NapoleanXV Good question; yes there is a reason I chose to remove the finish. I wanted to make sure that the thickness of the finish on the top of the frets didn't prevent me from getting a good level reading of the tops of the frets with the straight edge.

  • @smbstressfest So why not level the frets before the nut installation?

  • @NapoleanXV Because I need a nut to get the guitar strung and the neck adjusted straight under actual playing conditions so that the string tension can be recreated using the neck jig once the strings come back off for the fret leveling.

  • Why are you putting the neck on that jig?

  • @guitarsdave There are several reasons, I think I explained it in the series. Continue watching, and if it still doesn't make sense then send me another message and I'll go into some detail for you.
