thanks for your comment! The 5-way switch might not be the highest quality, but it works fine for most users. The addition of the two 470k capacitors for the single pickups is indeed a nice feature, enhancing the overall versatility of the guitar. Great value for the price, indeed!

Merci Matt !!!

great question! In this case, fret crowning wasn't necessary because the Fretshaper only removed a small amount of material from the fret, and the round shape remained after fret polishing. However, if the fret crown is flattened after spot leveling and the flat surface is wider than approximately 1mm, then crowning could be a good idea to restore the proper shape. Thanks for watching!

thanks for your feedback! This video is primarily a tutorial aimed at helping viewers learn how to perform specific tasks on their guitars. It's more focused on being informative and educational rather than entertaining. We appreciate your understanding!

Thanks ✌️😊

That's great 😃👍 Will be shipped tomorrow ✌️😎 Thanks 👍

Yes, it works on stainless steel frets as well. 😎👍 The Harley Benton ST Modern Plus features these frets.

Up to now we sell those separately and we consider creating special bundles as soon as our new products will be launched 😊👍

I'm pretty sure this video is for people who can do the work themselves. It's not that hard and saves you the money for a luthier. After all these are guitars which would be at least 1000.- from any other brand and i have encountered all of these issues in that price range too. I play guitars way more that i have worked on myself! Tip for frets: before you start filing them, give them a tap with the nylon hammer, sometimes it is enough to seat them properly and the rocking dissapears....🎸🤘🏼🎸

Hey @petersmith143 and @gearViewmirror, thanks for your input! @petersmith143, I understand your frustration. It’s true that level frets are essential for a guitar's playability. However, high frets can occur even on guitars costing well over 1000 euros. The video aims to help those who might encounter this issue by showing them how to fix it themselves, saving the cost and time of taking it to a luthier. @gearViewmirror, you’re spot on! This video is indeed for those who are comfortable doing their own adjustments. Your tip about tapping the frets with a nylon hammer is excellent and can definitely help in some cases. For anyone else watching, if you're experiencing similar issues with your guitar, give these DIY methods a try. It might seem daunting at first, but it can be a rewarding experience and save you some money in the long run. Happy playing 😎

There is no such thing as a perfectly leveled frets, not even a plek custom shop Gibson Les Paul have perfect frets. Guitar necks are made of wood, and it’s physically impossible for a piece of wood to be perfectly flat or being a straight condition forever, you got to live with it.

@@serspeny1237 you make a great point! Achieving perfectly leveled frets is a challenge for any guitar, even high-end models. Since guitar necks are made of wood, they are prone to changes due to temperature and humidity. Some materials are less likely to change a lot over time like roasted maple or e.g. carbon reinforced necks. Nevetheless these changes can cause the wood to expand or contract, which can lead to shifts in the fretboard and can make the frets uneven over time. This is why regular maintenance and occasional fretwork are important to keep any guitar in top playing condition. Thanks for sharing your insights!

glad you noticed! Adding resistors to balance the single coils with the humbucker is a fantastic improvement. This little tweak can make a difference in achieving a consistent volume and tone across different pickup selections.

Both are good guitars. Depending also on what sound you are looking for. 😎👍 The Fusion T is a bit heavier though.

​​@@frtlzr_official friend, thank you yes for your opinion, I have the T HH OCT EB fusion on Harley Benton and it is a great guitar, very good yes... your video is excellent, friend, congratulations 👏 🙌

@@jonatanronaldgonzalezariza18 thanks and enjoy playing ✌️😊🎸

Thank you for your question! The FRTLZR® Fret Polishing Kit includes various grits for different levels of polishing. While the finer grits (like 1500 and above) are designed for smooth polishing and won't significantly reduce fret height, the 400 grit can indeed remove a small amount of material from the frets. This is useful for eliminating deeper scratches and oxidation but should be used sparingly to avoid lowering the frets too much. For regular maintenance and to ensure you don't remove too much material, it's best to start with a higher grit like 1500 or 3000 and only use the 400 grit when necessary for more stubborn blemishes. Always follow up with finer grits to smooth and polish the fret surface. For more details, you can visit frtlzr.com Hope this helps, and happy playing!

If the 11th fret is lower than the others and causing buzzing on the 12th, you might need to level the frets. Using a fret rocker to confirm the fret's level can be helpful. If you're not experienced with fret work, it might be best to consult a professional luthier. If the 12th fret is higher than the other frets and causes a buzz or dead spot you can use the Fretshaper for fret spot leveling.

@@frtlzr_official Thank You!

Thanks for your comment.

Stewmac charges over twice the msrp of DMT sharpening stones and sells them as Fret Leveling stones LOL

Thanks for your comment Andrew!

thanks Mr Matt!

Thanks for your comment. In this video we cover all questions we have gotten in the last months. Especially for guitarists doing fret polishing the first time. We have a 3 minute version on our website www.frtlzr.com/tutorials

Merci 😊👍

Thank you Matt ✅

It is 😃

A straight edge can be used to check if the neck is straight across the entire fretboard. If you have found a high fret with a fretrocker like our Fretbanger, then you can use the Fretshaper to bring this high fret to level with the nearby frets.

@frtlzr_official Thank you for the quick reply, so would you do this with the strings on left under tension?

@@kf9879 If the neck doesn't have an extreme back bow or front bow, you can do it

Thanks Matt. It works really good 👍

Thanks 🙏

Merci beaucoup. Nous sommes très heureux que vous appréciiez notre outil.

Merci Matt 👏

Thank you Matt 🎸✅
