That's the same fret method I used on the one I'm working on now. I used a Gel superglue and unfortunately had about 6 of them pop off while I was dressing them. I reglued and they seem pretty stable now. My first build had them glued on without cutting grooves and I haven't had any problems with that one yet. The main reason I cut this time was to make sure they were glued exactly where I wanted them.

Thanks e guertin!

Mark, they are high schoolers... we tried to stay primitive so they could hopefully make them in their garage with basic tools if they wanted... we cut a little groove for the nail to rest in and superglued them... I haven't had a fret pop out yet... although I would also consider epoxy to hold them in if they were popping off...

These are great. Are they high school students? Also, are the nails glued to the fret board? If so, what kind of glue was used?
