Fretting

To prevent for rattling strings the frets need to be leveled. I first protected the fret board with masking tape.

With a long sanding block I filed the frets down. The frets have to "crowned" afterwards which is basically making them round again. The file which is used to do this job is hollowed out so it makes the frets round again. An example of the file:

After that I sanded the overhang of the top round. Still a lot of sanding needs to be done before I can oil the guitar. I am in the final stages and cannot wait to hear how it sounds! Some sneak previews:
