Here's another '02 Taylor with worn frets. The
subject guitar is their 310 model. As per the earlier 614-CE model, only
the 1st 8 frets will be replaced with Taylor supplied fretwire. |
|
The frets are removed
without any incident. |
|
The fingerboard is
now perfectly levelled, finish sanded, fret slots cleaned up. We're ready to fret.
|
|
The neck is fretted and fret ends cut almost flush with
the edge of the fingerboard. |
|
Notice the new frets are flush with the edge of
the fingerboard while the original frets are seated slightly away from the
fingerboard edge. This is due to the expansion of the
fingerboard. |
|
Thanks to the immaculate prep work prior fretting,
a light fret dress would suffice.
|
|
The
frets have been crowned and lightly rounded to remove any sharp
edges.
|
|
The frets are finish sanded and buffed. |
|
The guitar's strung and she plays like
new. |
|
The guitar with new frets and ready to go.
