Thomann's Guitars & Basses | 4 years ago
Sharp fret edges can make a guitar / bass feel really bad to play. It can even be dangerous: you can cut your fingers so you're better off fixing it as fast as possible.
This time Kris shows you how to file the fret ends and how to make them shine afterwards. :)
It's not very complicated and this simple upgrade can make your guitar / bass feel like a premium level custom shop instrument.
