As for doing it yourself, I wouldn't attempt it until I'd had the opportunity to have an experienced luthier show me what and what NOT to do, as it's entirely too easy to ruin frets, possibly even the neck itself, and cost you a bundle to get fixed.

Cheers!

I actually need to knock the sharp edges off the sides of my new Ibanez frets; I find that my fingers "catch" on them. I wish the manufactures would do that at the factory! I was gonna buy a set of fret dressing tools, but haven't got around to it yet.

Anybody tackle this themselves? Is it worth the hassle of doing it yourself?

Any advice? Thanks.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Hyperborea https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fret-dressing-when/#post-30822
