i have done alot of searchin aornud here, but i cant find anything helpful on how one would level and profile (i assume that is the same as crowning) frets. any links...tips... anything to point me into the right direction. i think the tune problem had to do with the high action, the nasty bowi had in the neck, and i intunated my guitar last time when the strings were not brand new, a combination of those probly had something to do with it. thanks for the help so far guys!

christ on high the neck was way out! i read up on the main page here and stewart mac, busted out the old feeler gauges and unstead of eyballing it lile i usually do everything, (and at that it was been quite a while) and the neck had a very larg amount of relife in it. this confused me, i thought if anything that would help eliminate fret buzz. so anyway, i brought the neck back to were it should be and i put the action down to were it should be...it was a bit high. and now... it buzzes alot more hahahh. it is alot easier to play but it buzzes everywere! can u file the frets so they are not flat anymore, and then polish them up with sand paper? would that help any.

thank abuch for the help guys. yes the bridge is frim against the body. the frets thatare worn the most are between 12-22. and mostly on the higher(uncoiled) half of the neck. i spend alot of time in there. it has happend threw a couple of sets of strings now. i didnt want to take it in, i want to try to figure it out and fix it myself....im stuborn but more impotanty i just wanna learn how. might have to if i cant get to the bottem of it. ill read those links and see if i can come get it squared away, thanks abuch

i dont now if the frets need work or not. i dont think its the strings/tunners. im not sure how to check the neck....any advice? i have 5 springs in the back to hold the bride down. hmmm thanks for the advice so far!

my strat has mad fret buzz and it comes out of tunes every time i give it a dirty look. the frets are a bit flat on top. the guitar is pushin 10 years old and i play it alot. what can i do to get rid of the buzz, and help it stay in tune? i checked the intunation on the guitar and got it as close as i feel i can get it. when i pic a string...it will go in and out of tune....its wierd. i dont no what to do about it. thanks for any advice u can offer!

Don't you mean poll? ← no he means poll. there is no possible way to accuratly narrow it down to enough for a poll.

hey guys, i am looking for a bit of advice on refinishing my les paul. i want to do a honey burst finish. anyone have advice on painting tech./which stans/paints or anyhting else that would be helpful? thanks.

might be a good idea to get that amp re biased. if u dont us the exact same tubes dont you have to any way? i could be wrong. but yeah that is the tubes.

i thihnk with revision it could make a decent bass. it will never be my favorite, but posibly not an ugly guitar. i agree tho, that shape does not fit the sound. that is like useing a rickenbacker for deathmetal. if u really like the design tho i would move the bridge back, mck the bottom{by the bridge} way more rounded. i would like to see a crooked cresent moon like shape. that probly makes no sences but picture a cresent moon and then tilt it so that the bottem would flair out more at the right side than at the left. so it inst just a perfect circle look. the horns should be maybe a bit more subtle as well. or, if u want you could always fret it and make it more of a guitar that would play the harder stuff. keep at it man ull find your desing.

yeah, to some people buddy holly might be the old stuff. some others may consider hendrix old. another may see black sabbeth as old. question needs to be reised and more specific for sure.

sweet thaks abunch ill try that search

i can see were u could say that it lasted 15 minuts{i get the metaphore to my iq is above 3} but i still disagree. pearl jam is not even one of my favorite bands but they are still around an tonz of people still go see there shows and buy their albums. and we all get the question what we are debating or critisizing or whaterver u want to call it is how can you A) call them all old or mention those bands but not other great ones too
