#guitartechtips
We wanted to do something special for the 50th Guitar Tech Tips episode so we filmed a complete fret leveling process. So many of you asked for this, it was time to talk about the "elephant in the room". Haha
Enjoy the video and please don't forget: we don't recommend practicing this on any instrument of yours that you care about. Many things can go wrong and the repair by a luthier might cost quite some money. We warned you. :)
