Cleaning Fret Ends After Install


Recommended Posts

I have an older LP junior being refretted. Is there an easy way of cutting the fret ends after the install without chipping laquer. I want to end up with a flush or partially recessed cut. No filler or removal of laquer. Just nice, clean, straight tang.

The only solution I can think of is to cut the tang to desired length and leave an overhang on the crown. After ends are tamped and glued, then cut the tops with ground nippers. Follow with dress and bevel.

Thanks in advance for any technique shares. :D
