If your guitar isn't playing as smoothly as it should, sometimes uneven frets might be the culprit. Luckily, leveling your frets is easier than you think, thanks to radius sanding blocks--a go-to tool for luthiers and DIY guitar builders.
These sanding blocks are designed to match your fretboard's curve, helping you evenly sand the frets without compromising the natural radius of the neck. It's a simple, hands-on solution that ensures every fret is perfectly leveled, giving you consistent action and clean intonation.
Here's how to do fret leveling:
- Secure your guitar neck to keep it steady while you work.
- Use a straight edge or fret rocker to find any uneven spots.
- Choose a sanding block that matches your fretboard's radius.
- Sand lightly and evenly, taking care to check your progress often.
- Finish by polishing the frets until theyโre smooth and shiny.
With just a bit of patience and the right tools, you'll see (and feel) the difference. Your guitar will play like a dream, with no more buzzing or dead spots to hold you back.
