Trust in those with real experience, not those that knee-jerk through life without any actual experience for whatever reason.
This is Part 2 of a series.
There are flat necks and then there are flat necks. Understanding the condition of the neck and fretboard is a must know before leveling frets.
And what are the disadvantages of using sanding beams and straight files?
For the novice, these old tools are a really bad idea. For the pro, well... every tool eventually gets replaced by new better tools, innovation, technology that makes superior tools possible, and pros who charge money for fret leveling are catching on to FretMaestro; and some are not because they do not like that anyone with no experience, no prior skills required using FretMaestro can now level their own frets at home instead of paying a shop to do it.
For the novice we make these videos to put you in the know, what to look for, and how to handle it, because FretMaestro can do so much more than the old school sanding beam and straight files.
Old School Tools and Guesswork Rules for fret leveling have been around for a very long time, long ago adapted from woodworking tools before modern tech made it possible to make tools specifically engineered for the job. FretMaestro is the result of modern tech capabilities.
Anyone can master FretMaestro to level, radius, & crown guitar frets with CNC precision in the palm of their hand in the comfort of their own home. There is no longer any reason to pay a shop for fret leveling.
Part 1 introduces essential tools and takes a close look at Fret Rockers Vs Digital Gauge.

my action is lower :)
Thanks SixStringers !
Glad to hear it. It is only possible when the fret radiuses are precision symmetrical, and of course level vs coplanar since coplanar does not mean level, coplanar can be at an angle where the tops of the frets are in line with each other, but the line is at an angle, very bad for play, tone, and buzz. This bad coplanar angle is all to common when leveling with a sanding beam.
Thank you.
@@SixStringers it was a touch up on my 3rd fret job with conventional tools...I really tried to do a good job, and I am not totally green to fret work ....but Maestro-ing still resulted in lower action.
@@SixStringers Thank You...it's the best tool for fret work that I have now.....but I think, the next time I change frets, I will still use my leveling beam and radius block to check at true the fret-board .... so I am keeping those also.
@@SixStringers oh and my fret saw...I am keeping that also.
On new frets I would not use a sanding beam. If you measure frets with a digital gauge you will see why... before and after.
I would love to see you actually use the tool. So far it's just a sales pitch, which is okay, but I want to see the tool at work.
Watch our other videos... and you will see very clearly. In several of the videos, different expensive guitars made significantly better with FretMaestro.
