n8rofwyo Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Man, I dunno. My experience with those sash style clamps is that they are awfully wobbly until you have uniform pressure on them. I would think it would be a pain in the ass to get it to stand straight over the frett until you were actually on the frett. What happens when it doesn't stand firmly on the frett? Oh, crap, gotta start over - is my guess. Add to that the fact that you now have to hold the whole thing while turning the buckle to compress the clamp. I see the little "stand" that comes with it to help support the "press", but I have serious reservations about this contraption. Don't think I would risk my time or FB with this thing.

Setch Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 My experience with those sash style clamps is that they are awfully wobbly until you have uniform pressure on them I think that's the point of the set screws at every available point on the clamp shown. I know I'll be putting one of these together for testing, expect some pics sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 consider one of those sold to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 me too, I couold have used one of those last week when I refretted a PRS McCarty. Instead I had to hammer in the last 10 frets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorecki Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 By all means you guys that pick one of these up, let us know how it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay5 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Im with you setch, I think its a cool tool but not somthing I would pay $100+ for when I could probably make one myself. Same thing I did with their fretting caul and fret bender. I can understand people like Perry buying one as it would cost him less than if he spent the time making one. Let us know how it goes Setch!

Guitarfrenzy Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Dan showed this tool on one of his Advanced Fretting video that he made. I made one just like it, but the new one they are selling looks better, simply because you can change out the clamping end. Very clever I might add. I'm always looking for new tools.. the only problem is,,, there usually is too much month at the end of my money.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egdeltar Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 That is just way to much $. Considering I have the clamps allready, access to a punch press to make the inserts, and wood and the tools for the cauls.. I think Ill save myself a bit-o-cash!!!
