I’ve been learning and practicing my Lutherie skills. I’ve been doing my own (and others) setups forever, bridge replacements, tuner swaps etc, and wanted to dive in deeper. I’ve done 4 fret levels on electrics, two of those on set necks with new nuts, and one acoustic fret level with a new nut and saddle made from bone blanks.I just recently did my first complete fretboard sand and refret on a bound neck, this was my best one yet and yielded some very low action with zero fret buzz. It was my first time and I had the frets so level at the install that it only took a couple of passes with 600 grit paper to touch them all, and required only light crowning. This was on my bandmate’s Les Paul studio, he says it’s the best that guitar ever played.I want to do a few more fret levels to see if those results were luck or skill before I refret my Les Paul Traditional with SS fretwire.Dom
