That super glue/razor blade thing is brilliant. Good work.

[dvs]

I've always wondered about this. You're the first channel that addressed it. 👍

[chascopley]

dna love the technique of wicking the super glue with razor blade. such a clever move

[TheLemonFox]

I love the razorblade trick, going yo be stealing that! And btw this video is great, so many people jump straight to levelling and crowning - which if a fret isn't seated or is loose in its slot won't actually fix the problem.

So u are the fret lord?
Good deal we need people like you. Not everyone wants or needs to do this. It’s a big deal. And really it’s good to see someone doing this on here. I’ve been on YouTube a long time now. Very few even go here. To show fret work.

Won't superglue make next fretjob tricky on damaging the fretboard?

[SuperJohnsWorld]

That clamp is genius! Where did you get it?

[jarredbahr]

Do all fenders have/need a laquer or some kind of shiny finish? I have often seen those on maple neck+fingerboard guitars but never owned one. I recently picked up a 2011 roadhouse strat and noticed after purchase it seemed to have a sanded away finish, but the headstock and back of the neck were similar: satin finish, not thick laquer or shiny. I googled it and heard maple necks need this. Worried about my new guitar and maintenance/ what to do. I greatly appreciate your opinion. I also saw some kind of plasticy something on the fretboard by the frets that i could cut out. I was wondering if someone maybe did sloppy fretwork and messed up the fretboard or what. Peace and love. Thanks. Beautiful work.

Keep up the good work 👍

Using a razor to wick glue is a super cool tip. I don’t repair guitars but still find that useful

[matthewjdouglas]

Did you have to replace any frets? When should a fret be replaced. When does a fret become unusable. That one fret looked very low. Like worn out. I have no idea. Just curious

[PabloMarrero-ed]

this seems like a bad idea i might be wrong. wouldnt the superglue dry (especially the really thin stuff) before the clamp is put in place?

arent frets seated mechanically?

i feel like all this is doing is sealing the fret slot gap and not really sitting it down further making future refrets a headache

[newmexicosaint]

How do you clean off the excess glue from the fretboard?

[SteveStevens-uvpx]

Why not beat into the slot? I don't think you'd want to use superglue? Unless heating up with solder later?

[jamiemoll]

Who trained you? Dad; Brother or Crazy Ass Uncle?

[middobass]

Where did you get the fret clamp from please?

[DrOcelot]

Let me guess, it’s a $850 player series?

[eross]

cool. what solvent do you use to clean up the access superglue ?

[pulaski]

The fret on the left, in the opening shot, looks as flat as a pancake!

[MartyMcFlyV]

So many times I've come across this. 70 years and Fender can't install the frets all the way.

[GregWitt]

Brilliant! Way too many folks reach for the file before checking the fret seating
