You need to verify that no frets are moving. These are usually made to fairly tight tolerances and not that expensive. You can also use a good machinists ruler (cut into pieces). The metal dowels are fine for checking for high frets. The correct thing to use here is either a very small fret crowning file (that doesn't always work if the frets are low), or a standard file with the edges ground smooth so it can slide across the fretboard without doing damage. You do not want to take additional material off the tops that you just leveled, and you do not want to round off the ends. You want to take off metal from the side to reform the crown. A piece of wood with sandpaper is not the ideal tool for this. I have done this on many thousands of instruments (most everything that we sell) and even now, I continue to improve my work.įirst up, what size fret wire do you have? It is difficult to crown small, low frets even with specific fretting tools. For the most part fret work is fairly simple, yet there are absolutely things that can go wrong and things you can learn to do much better. but it sounds like you are aware that things may go wrong and you are not working on a high-end instrument.
