Recently I started a new series called Luthier Tips du Jour mailbag. These are questions that I get from viewers around the world. I decided to address these in the new series called mailbag. Here is the second one and it comes from a viewer in Italy that had some questions about fret ends sticking out past the fretboard Enjoy! |

i made a set of "emory boards" using popsicle sticks with different grits of sandpaper on them that work quite well for the trickier/tighter parts where a file is awkward. i also cut the tangs off a couple files and smoothed the edges over, after dinging up a few headstocks, so they are "safer" cheers |
