DON'T FRET NO FRETWIRE NO SLOTS NO PROBLEM EASY FRETS

feel free to ask any questions .
this is a simple way to do frets .. they really sound great and need effortless pressure to make the note .

no depth issues , slot cutting , fret wire , height issues , sanding , leveling etc .

and minimal filing

i highly recomend trying it .

the bobby pins / roller pins i got seem longer and maybe a bit wider than i remember the older ones being .

but i'm sure the old style would work too

Can you please post an audio visual sample. I tend to believe they are too flat. Standard frets have a peak to them that cuts the string accurately. Getting the intonation spot on using this method seems rather tricky. Not a big fan of gluing metal to wood either. Although, I appreciate your efforts to build that better mouse trap. Thanks for sharing and enjoy, Keni Lee
