Week Number 5

This week in guitar building I didn’t get that much done. The first thing I did was clean two pieces of fret wire using acetone and a paper towel, if you don’t do this the black gunk on the wire spreads into the fret board. Next, I bent the fret wire the the corrected radius to fit my fret board(12″) using a fret wire bending tool. After that, I cut pieces of fret wire to fit in the pre-cut slots on my fret board and pushed them in using a drill press. Finally, I clipped the edges of the fret wire off to make it flush with the neck.
