Zeljac Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 So.. I'm interested in your way of fretting maple necks ! ok, lets skip almost the whole build and talk about sequences. my way should be like this. - making the neck, just like the one with rosewood and etc. either way, one piece or putting a maple fingerboard. - sanding - lacquering - putting frets (and all work on them) - polish + it's easier to remove frets (after) - lacquer can break in process of hammering the frets, or putting major scratches in finish - lacquering over frets... hmmmm... I see that almost everyone does like that... but cleaning them, and changing them later would be pain in the ass. I don't know anymore .... I will give it a try and lacquer over frets. it's more safer that work will be done perfect ! so... - making the neck (shape, contour....) - sanding - fretting - removing all scratches (IF) - lacquering - cleaning frets - polish I'm open for your tips & tricks best wishes !

Woodenspoke Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 As far as I am concered its just like fretting any other neck. Then you seal it with laquer. I have never heard of anybody trying to install frets over lacquer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
