  • I had the pleasure of fret leveling a Jeff Beck model Fender Stratocaster.
    It's the same story as in the previous video, but the work is completely different.
    The fret leveling process for new frets is completely different from the process for a well worn fret.
    Set the neck and check the top of the frets on the scale.
    This is the process to check the straightness of the neck.
    This guitar is a little bit high and straight on the 1st string, and warped on the 6th string.
    This is a common neck bend. So far, so good.
    The truss rod is stuck...probably the end of the truss rod.
    And the nut on the rod was napped.
    The nut was not turning with a normal 1/8th hexagonal wrench, so I thought that the part of the nut that was not tightened with a normal hexagonal wrench would not be tightened, so I shaved off the hexagonal wrench and machined the tip at 90 degrees.
    This method worked well and we were able to turn the nut, but...
    It did not turn hard. Either way, the rod is the end point.
    However, the neck warp is currently just about right.
    Well, I did some fret leveling to see if I could manage it.
    Again, the sound was decreasing when choking at the high frets, a common problem with Fenders, so I did some fret rubbing to improve it.
    Of course, I did the fret leveling while removing the dents and scratches on the frets.
    I'm happy to hear and see the results.
    Thank you for your request.

    3M is a good choice for masking tape. 6mm is recommended for the high fret of the guitar.
