A suggestion for people who are nervous of working on their guitar. There are plenty of guitars on Amazon that are $99 or so. I guarantee they will come with crazy frets. You can practice on the inexpensive guitar before working on your good guitar. You can fix them up and learn to do a complete setup. They can be made to play nice. When you are done, give it to a school or a kid in the neighborhood.
Nice tool. It works the same as the StewMac Fret Kisser, but at a fraction of the cost, albeit yours doesn't have the diamond cut grinding surface, but changing sand paper is no problem. Good luck!
2 things : a- you should hammer the fret with a soft mallet first and remeasure as many frets lift. Sanding them just leaves a loose fret which deadens the string . b. Often assess the fret by placing the fret edge over more than 3 frets to get an idea which frets are highest as well as just the 3 fret method. A higher fret can mask another neighboring high fret .
The first thing I do is use a G clamp with a rubber tap washer on the bottom and a bit of brass on the top. 3D printed would be nicer, but it works. BTW rocking. Use a felt pen to mark the high spots. once rubbed off job done.
If the 11th fret is lower than the others and causing buzzing on the 12th, you might need to level the frets. Using a fret rocker to confirm the fret's level can be helpful. If you're not experienced with fret work, it might be best to consult a professional luthier. If the 12th fret is higher than the other frets and causes a buzz or dead spot you can use the Fretshaper for fret spot leveling.
@@frtlzr_official I did check out the shop, I just wasn't sure if you shipped to the US. Glad to know you do. The price even with the shipping is way better, and it will do the same thing. Thank you for your response, I will be making some purchases in the near future.

Stewmac charges over twice the msrp of DMT sharpening stones and sells them as Fret Leveling stones LOL

What if there is a low 11th fret causing buzzing at the 12th fret?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
