About Fret Work
A Fret Job includes the following : Level fingerboard using neck jig, replace frets, level frets using neck jig, crown and polish frets. Maple neck fret job includes re-lacquering fingerboard on non-vintage necks only.
By using specialized neck jigs and measuring devices to compensate for string tension and gravity, the fingerboard or fret surface can be milled truer than ever before. This results in superior sound and eliminates the guesswork in neck compensation.
The discriminating player will find lower action without fret rattle or buzz. The use of the jig can also cure problem necks that may have become warped or even slightly twisted.
Fret work requires experience, extra time, and special jigs. It is more expensive than other methods, however the benefits outweigh the costs.
