Fret
Leveling
When
notes begin to buzz or fret out, or when divots appear in the fret tops, which is especially common in the 2nd - 3rd fret
area, it becomes necessary to level the frets to make them all equal in height. We level, recrown, and then polish the
frets on a buffer for the ultimate in playability and appearance. This operation requires that a setup be done after
as all the previous adjustments will have become obsolete, and those old action settings where based on the previous condition
of the frets.

* Note * It is not uncommon for customers to bring in brand new guitars, American and import to do a cursory
fret leveling to "true up" the frets, and enable the lowest possible action, and make the guitar easier to
play. Fret work is the most overlooked, and most poorly done operation on most production guitars, because it requires
highly skilled people and is costly and time consuming.
