Scalloping Your Upper Frets

by Brian Calvert

Below is the Only tool you will need besides Safety Glasses...

A 1/4" Round File......

Center the File Between the Frets...

Using your Other Hand to Guide it Slowly Start by Filing Back And Forth...

Pause Often and Inspect your work.......

Once your Satisfied Move on to the next Fret...

Pausing to inspect often just like the last one.....

You can even Contour the Fret Board Just Like it was Originally.....

And smooth out the sides the same way......

Now You will See A Factory Job.....

I Bet Yours Looks much Better......Like the one Below........

Finish it Either Natural like on the bottom of this next Picture

or Polished Like the Fret Board on the Top of the picture

Average Time for this Job is 10-20 Minutes per fret
