Here are some before and after photo's of a recent job.  This is a Warmoth Bicote strat neck.  I gave it a precision fret level and crown, spherical fret ends, and a high polish.

This is a link to my YouTube channel, where I show the fret level process, including fret ends, and polishing.

The "Spherical" Fret ends are what many refer to as "hot dogging" the fret ends.

A good video on fret level and crown + fret ends.

Hi Mark, just watched your video. Good to see the use of micro mesh,  I like to use that too.

I've also been planning on ditching my levelling file, because I'm leaning towards using a paper on a levelling beam. I only do this for myself so it will have to wait till I get to it.

I see you are using a radius block for levelling. Interested in what approach you take for compound radius necks where obviously the radius alters along the length ?

 

[Mark Stockwell]

If you go to my youtube channel, the very next video adresses compound radius.  Thanks!
