Thread: Levelling Frets

  1. #41
    Just went to watch the vid, but now I need to work out the difference between the katana, lite and buzz killer, oh, and If the little bone will do to recrown at my stage.

    For the occasional user, the fret files you looked at are quite adequate.

    Gav, the vids are in Japanese, but just by watching you will get the idea.
    I will be attacking the Baritone soon, so I might just try to video the process.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Good question Brendan.
    Given the scale length, I guess I will be breaking out the Bass Katana...

    I have a few Guitars here needing the DB touch, so maybe I will do a vid on the Rectify Lite and the Katana...

    Hey,

    The two biggest worries I have doing my first guitar is fret leveling and nut filing. Probably because they are both super important and need special equipment.

    After reading this thread and doing some of my own research, I went ahead and ordered the Katana fret leveling device. At the end of the day I can see that there is an art in doing fret leveling in the traditional way but if there is a device out there that makes it more foolproof I am all for it.

    So, please if you are going to put together a video of how to go about using it I would love to see it

    The second thing I would love to ask is - where can I get the best/cheapest nut files from?

    Cheers,
    Rohan.

    As for best and cheap, they are two words that don't belong together

    Go for the best as they will last a life time or two...

    Ha, well of course they don't belong together!

    I can only assume that after leveling with the Katana that the next step is to file the nut down along with tweaking the bridge to set the strings as low as possible without buzzing.

    Are we talking about using these? http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Nuts,_sa...Nut_Files.html
