GGBO 2023 Kit - Episode 12 - Fret Leveling and Polishing

LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT!
Episode #12 After checking to see if the frets are level, I decided they weren't level enough so I leveled them. After leveling, I crowned the frets, polished the frets, and I hydrated the fingerboard. Next I'll be wet sanding the body. Stay tuned and join us each week!

    use a small file to high spots first....then finish if needed with long beam to avoid see saw effect

    That makes total sense! I had those high spots so I thought it would be some minor leveling/sanding, but it was taking much more time and effort. Thanks @joeballs5669
