In this tutorial we'll cover:
- Preparing the neck
- Installing the side dots
- Installing and gluing in the frets
- Gluing on the fingerboard
In Lesson 4, Dan Erlewine shows how to install the frets and glue the fretboard to the neck. Since the fret slots are accurately pre-cut, you can’t go wrong!
