Fret dressing?

Fishheadjoe · #1 07-23-2008, 12:08 PM

My Yamy needs a fret dressing! My Sx needs a fret job! I could easily spend $120-150 getting both done professionally, that being the price quoted so far, but I have a desire to learn this craft and do my own, but I truly don't know where to start.
I did do a search on "fret dressing" but honestly after reading the first two pages of results, I am no closer to an answer.
My plan is to tackle the SX first, so if I fubar it, at least it's not an expensive instrument.
So, what do I need and how do I do it, or is there a resource out there that I can learn from?
Thanks,
fishheadjoe

Search the Stewart McDonald website. Look at the books and videos available. Check out the tools.

Relax the neck to straight before you start.
