olddog Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hi. I've always seemed to have a problem filing the little burr that's under the crown at the end of the fret. Even when I bind a neck and file off the tang, it's still there. I've tried the stew-mac end file, and that gets most of the burr, after playing for a while I can just feel little tugs on a burr. It's not a real huge one just enough to let you know it's there. I usually finish over the fret ends, so I have to wonder if I'm rubbing enough of the finish off to expose the burr? I've tried coming from under the board and sweeping up with the file, but I just can't reach it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwood999 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 what kind of stew mac file are you using? and are you talking about(right around the very corners of the fret ends?) ive found the stew mac#1175 to be pretty good (can you post a pic of where you talking about it would help) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) I use a fine grit sponge sanding pad. Just run that along the frets and it takes off the edge Theres also a great tutorial here http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/fretting.htm Edited June 19, 2007 by jaycee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
