I had some pretty significant fret dents and I had some worn frets which were causing my strings to buzz and fret out when bending. I first supported the neck of the guitar to minimize the amount of bow that might occur while sanding. I then loosened my truss rod and used a slotted straight edge to ensure that the neck was flat. I masked off the fretboard with masking tape and marked the frets with a marker. I then proceeded to sand using a fine grit emery cloth and a 12" radius sanding block. Once the marker was removed from the top of all of the frets, I ran the marker across them again. I then used a Hosco fret crowning file to crown the frets. I ran the file across the fret, leaving only a thin strip of the marker on the top of the frets. This ensures that material is not removed from the top of the frets that were just leveled. I then used Hosco abrasive rubber "erasers" to polish the frets. I returned the truss rod to the original position and strung the instrument. I then made necessary adjustments to the action and intonation. Click here to subscribe http://bit.ly/ngdysub1 and don't forget to select the notification bell!
