Doc I'd get a fret hammer too and make sure all the frets are seated before you do a fret level

I did notice that the ends of the troublesome fret had slightly lifted up from the fretboard edge where the binding was.
Doc if the frets don't stay seated and have lifted they may need new frets or a couple of drops of thin superglue might help them stay seated

That's something I could look into before I go ahead and level the fret, I was contemplating removing the fret, bending it a bit to get the ends to seat better, and then re-seat the fret, the ends of the fret aren't very high off the fretboard, you really need to look closely at it with a X10 magnifier to see it.
Wot Woks sed..
Clamp the pesky speed hump and add a few drops of CA, that should sort it out
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Cheers, I'll give that a go first then, I know where I can buy Superglue in Darwin, might give it a try tomorrow.
I've just pm-ed pablopepper about ordering a notched straightedge.
Hey Doc sounds like you live in a country town when you say you know somewhere to buy brasso and superglue, Darwin do have a good range of shops don't they ?

Actually, Darwin is the capitol of the Northern Territory(at least I think it is), where I live is about a half-hour bus ride from the Darwin CBD, and about a twenty minute walk from the Winnellie Supermarket and Post Office, yeah there's a few good shops, including the naughty green shop (ie:Bunnings) in Bagot Road, sometimes you come across the odd bargain now and then, across from Bunnings is my local Jaycar Electronics shop where I sometimes buy electronic components and tools, etc.
Hey Doc,
ColesWorths should have Brasso.
Col.
I admit that I am an agent of Satan, however, my duties are largely ceremonial.

Cheers, I don't know if there is a Colesworths shop in Darwin but I'll definitely check it out.
