I'm probably the odd man out, but I love fretting... it's a very zen experience for me.

Thanks Rev!

Yessir, the right tools indeed make for a more relaxing experience. Here's some more of my arsenal...
The Fret Guru is awesome for crowning frets and rounding fret ends. The flat file has one edge ground smooth for doing fret corners without marring the fretboard.

Way cool, and I kind of agree.  The right tools help!  Nicely done, K-man!

Thanks Bernie!

That's Lacewood but I don't know the specific species.

The wood on the fretboard is amazing! What is it?

Comment by Korrigan on July 23, 2022 at 1:00pm
