Work from one side to the other and you shouldn't have a problem. Be careful on maple fingerboards though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5150rocker Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 So you pull them up not knock them out from the side? So I guess it doesn't end up ripping the wood of the fret board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess it doesn't end up ripping the wood of the fret board? ← Depends on if it's an older Fender neck, which the frets was slid in from the sides. If that's the case then yes, you will use something to knock them out from the side. Try pulling one first if your not certain, and if you have a lot of chipout on the wood, you need to use the side knock method. Unless you have a Fender neck that is older, then you shouldn't have any problems using the solder iron and fret puller method. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
