You'll learn about the specialist tools required for fretwork and gain the expertise to recognize when fret re-leveling is necessary. Master the techniques to stone, re-crown, and shine guitar frets for optimal playability.

Specifically, we'll cover:

• Stoning and Re-profiling: Learn the process to restore frets to perfect condition.
