But I've always been passionate about changing frets, changing radii, finishing, etc. But in my country it's all extremely difficult, those who do these services don't provide lists of tools, etc., or I couldn't find anyone who does it... Would it be too much to ask for a list of the tools you used in this video, from "sandpaper" to rulers... etc. I would be very happy if you could help me... I have felt since the beginning that this type of adjustment would be something that would relieve me of some of the burden of always being stuck in the same activities... I have depression and other problems with chronic pain and my intuition tells me that this type of "work" would help me a lot... Anyway, sorry for the long text... Thank you and congratulations once again for your work, my friend.
Heat-releasing the finish on the board is a new one on me. I guess that finish is why we no longer have blackened maple boards. Do you individually radius the new frets?
Great video. Really informative. I have a question though. Why nip the fret tang on each end? Is there any benefit on this kind of fretboard? I thought this was reserved to fretboards with binding on it. Cheers! 😉
@@Rickyramos87 Im quite puzzled if you mean well or not. Have you tried working earnestly without thought of monetary value? Then if not your opinion is moot.

I'm confused. You spray the neck with the frets on, then tape the neck, then just remove the tape. Wouldn't polishing and crowning come after you remove the lacquer/poly? Otherwise you are spraying your polished work. Or did you not remove the product from the frets?
Fantastic work!! I’m having learning a lot with your videos and I’m thinking in refret my Tele. Do you use any type o glue on new fret before hammer or just presssure? By your vídeo no glue but I found places that uses a glue and others no. What do you think about it?
Great video, good length of each step to follow allong. Bit There is one question I have: What did you do in between covering the neck with tape and peeling it off again howards the end of the video? Regstes from germany
Your results are flawless. And changed the fingerboard radius? Didn't see how. Taped up to dress and polish the frets. Removed the tape? Finger board appears stripped bare at9:20. Sprayed it. Re-taped it. Removed the tape again? Is this an editing error? No glue on the frets?
Such a cool video indeed! I have a question regarding refretting a strat/tele type guitar. Does a stainless steel fret (medium jumbo) work just fine or should it be refretted with nickel steel instead? I heard that stainless steel fret with make the “tone wood” disappear. Is this true?
What is the tool you are using around 6:20 to round/roll the edges of the fingerboard between the frets? I'd love to get one for my own projects. Just using sandpaper wrapped around my finger is very slow by comparison and consequently irritating. Thanks in advance! :)
The work in this video is based on the premise that the wood is shaved, so it is shaved a lot. I can also work on the premise of not shaving the wood. It takes more time and effort, though.

thank you for your comment. I didn't shoot the video where the sides of the fret were cut diagonally. I use a tool to fix my file to cut the fret at an angle. I want to show it on a video next time. Because this sentence is machine translation, there may be strange sentences.

If you have a fret tang, there is a risk of the frets popping out if the neck shrinks or something.
The refret's worth a grand. Damn, clean and precise
I agree with that. That $1k does what no other investment can. Gives you back your own instrument - brand new.
No refret is worth more than $200usd and that’s with all the bells and whistles.. luthiers are as bad as car salesmen and lawyers these days

Is it necessary to strip the finish and sand the fretboard? Some folks don't do it. Or is it really case-dependent?

Don't you use glue at all when adding the frets?
I don't use much adhesive.
Using glue is not good for guitars.
Beautiful video, nice job mate ... but let me ask you, how did you measure out the right nut hight and how deep to cut the grooves?
Thank you.
The groove depth of the nut is judged by the gap between the string and the first fret by pressing down on the second fret.
@@Andybassguitar is it possible to refret having only the neck and achieve good results? I can setup the guitar, but I was wondering if the neck installed is needed for any additional steps not shown in our video.

フレットの上から塗装吹いてますがどうやって剥がしました？また剥がさなくていいものなんでしょうか
刃物で切れ目を入れてペリペリと剥がすこともありますし、アセトンや、シンナーで落とすこともあります。
もし自分がやるなら、塗装してからフレットの整形すれば、いちいち剥がす作業必要ないって思うけど。
どうせフレットの摺り合わせ、磨きとかやるから。
Im debating on refretting my strat neck myself, it is also a laquered board, do you HAVE to remove the laquer and respray it? Is there any consequence to not doing that?
Looks like he removed the lacquer because he was applying a different radius to the fretboard. It isnt necessary for a refret

Now that is class,!
何時も淡々と作業を進めている動画が素晴らしい。
話しながら作業を進めるリペアマンが多い中、Andyさんは作業のみで、必要なことはコメント欄に返信されているので良く理解できます。
友人のアコースティックギターを初めてフレット交換するのでとても参考になります。
一つ質問なのですが、すり合わせをする時にRの付いたサンディングブロックを使わずにストレートのサンディングを使うのは何か理由があるのでしょうか？
Live動画待っていますよ❣️
指板というものはストレートでなくてはいけません。（厳密に言うとちょっと違うのですが）
Rのついたサンディングブロックというのは基本的に指板にRをつけるためだけに使います。
あの長さでは指板のストレートを出すことができないのでストレートのサンディングブロックを使っています。
また、コーニカルラディアス（コンパウンドラジアス）に近づけるためにストレートのサンディングブロックを使います。コーニカルラディアスです。（心の師匠がコーニカルラディアスと呼べといってました）
Rのサンディングブロックでは、コーニカルラディアスにはなりません。
Andy bass & guitar いつも丁寧なお答えを忙しいのありがとうございます。
サンディングブロックは指板用なんですね☆
コーニカルラディアス…円柱ではなくて円錐に仕上げなさいと言うことですね？
私はホームセンターで購入した角材=30cm×4cm×4cmに番手を変えた耐水ペーパーを貼って使っています。
Nicely done!
塗装の後11:00からまたマスキングしてますが直ぐ剥がしてます。これはフレットについた塗料を剥がしたという事でしょうか？
ザッツライト！
What did you apply when you hit the Flet?
Great job

amazing job! why did you mark the frets with a red marker before sanding?
This is to make sure that the frets are removed when fret leveling.
@@Andybassguitar Thank you so much!
Why notch the ends of the frets if there is no binding?
The fret tang is cut to prevent it from popping out when the fingerboard expands and contracts.
@@Andybassguitar did you fill the ends or leave it open? I didn’t see you mess with it afterwards.
おしゃん！めっちゃかっけぇ動画！

質問なのですが、
0:47これはフレットに熱を加えてるのですか？
フレット交換はとてつもなく難しい作業なのは知っていますが、この度自分で挑戦しようと思い、気になりました。
また、14:20ここの、1番最初に弾いているめっちゃオシャンティなハーモニクスは12フレットのハーモニクスですか？
これはフレットに熱を加えています。指板との密着を剥がすためと、フレット打ちに接着剤が使われている場合などに使う方法です。
温めなくてもいい場合もあります。可能であれば温めない方がいいです。
多分１２フレットだと思います。適当に弾いているだけなので・・・倍音ですね。

とても丁寧な返信、ありがとうございます。
接着剤によって指板が割れるのを防ぐためだったのですね。ありがとうございます！

指板の塗装を剥がす時のアイロンの温度は何度ぐらいなんですか？
温度はあまり重要じゃないです。塗装は薄いので温度はマックスでやってます。（何度かは分からない）ツインバードのアイロンを使っています。当てる時間が重要？ですかね。

リフレットの指板研磨で音はどれくらい変わるのでしょうか？
リフレットの指板研磨というと、指板の磨きでの音の変化でしょうか？
難しいですね、フレットを変えたという変化量と指板を研磨した音の変化量で言えばフレットを変えた事による変化の方がはるかに大きいと思います。
指板の研磨はフレットの密着性や、弾いた時の感覚、などに影響すると考えます。
もちろん美しさにも。
お答えになっていますでしょうか。
@@Andybassguitar フレットをきれいに打つための下地処理みたいなので指板を削ることにたいして抵抗があるんですよね 汗 そんなことよりもフレットを変えたことの方が大きいんですね。 まだリフレット一度もしたことないので 心配で 汗
フレットを綺麗に打つための研磨ではなくて、ネックのねじれだったり、波打ちだったり？動いてしまったネックを修正するために指板を削るのです。
どうしてもネックは動きます。
フレットも減ります、なので、きちんとした音を出す事が難しくなる時がきます。
そんな時にフレットすり合わせや、指板修正を含むフレット交換を行います。
レリックされたネックなどは指板修正を行わないでフレットを打つ事もあります。
ただ、その分ネックのねじれなどをフレット高さで修正する事になるので、新品フレットでもかなり削り込む場合もあります。
フレット交換はまだやったことないのだけど
ネックを何本無駄にしましたか？
だめにしたことは無いですね。ですが、未だに完ぺきではないです。
フレットうちは残念ながらごまかしが効く作業です。
完ぺきなものを知っている知識と目が必要です。どっちも覚えるのは簡単ですが、（教えてもらえれば）作業するのは難しいです。
Great job! btw, typo in thumbnail.

普通の指板に打ち込むフレットをオーバーバインディング加工するメリットってあるんですかね...?
あるんですよ！木が縮んだりすると出てくるのはフレットのタングなので、オーバーバインディング加工しておくとそのリスクをほぼなくせるんです。
逆に加工しておかないメリットって作業時間短縮とかしかないので、家では基本オーバーバインディング加工してます。

フレット打ち込む前に溝に接着剤やバンドは使っていますか？
どうもです！
フレットに接着剤は基本的に使ってません。ただ、サウンドの狙いで瞬着を使う場合もあります。
フレットに接着剤を使うリペアマンは下手くそだと教わったこともありますが、時代に応じてやり方が変わってきているので、何がいいことなのかはわかりません。
教えてください。
そうすると、ネックの側面に隙間が出来ないですか？何かで埋めるのでしょうか？ 素人の質問で申し訳ないです。
ネックの側面というと、フレット溝のことでしょうか。
フレットの溝を埋めるときは、木を削った粉をボンドと練り合わせてパテをつくったり、本当にパテを使うこともあります。
また、仕上がりによっては木のパテなどを使うと汚くなることもあるので、穴の空いたまま少し接着剤を流し込むこともあります。
状況に応じて変えている感じですね。

Rをキツめにした状態からはんーだけで打ち込むとネックや、溝に対して負荷をかけますので良くないと思います。
私は。
Rをつけすぎると、時間経過によってフレットによっては中浮きの原因になりますよね。
僕の浅い経験から言わせていただくと、一定のRで綺麗にプレス機などでフレットを完璧に打ち込むことは不可能です。
フレットを抜いた際の溝の手入れ？をきちんと行えばこのくらいのRであれば「僕」は問題ないと判断します。
また、フレットにRを付ける機械をつかうとフレットの指板に密着する面に跡というか傷というか、フレットが変形するので、基本的には使いません。
なので、ここはトラディショナルなやり方が僕の中では一番正確にフレットを打ち込めるかなと考えています。
自分でリフレットやってみたいけど辞めた。
コスパ悪過ぎる。やはりプロにお任せした方がいい。
作業の所作も仕上げも美しい。
