So today we started on fret dressing. This levels out all the frets so you can set the intonation properly. This usually costs between 125-160$. Its pretty time consuming, and it requires a lot of sanding in gradually finer grits. After lunch we got to work on our builds till about 6, i didnt get as much as id like, but i got some of the aggravating work done..
Ok so i cant figure out how to organize the pictures on the screen so i'll try to explain the best i can. One picture is my neck on the shaping jig, i had to sit there and carve away until it was nice and smooth and round. Another one of the pictures is of the ears being glued onto my headstock, this is to allow the extra room needed for my design. The next picture is one of the metal heads lee and one of the instructors gary goofing off, both of them are equally hilarious. The next one is of the fret dress, its hard to tell but those frets are nice and shiny, i think im picking this stuff up pretty quick. One of the other teachers, brian, gave me a 7 out of 10 for my first fret dress, thats not bad if i do say so myself!!!
