[220volt]

As you can see frets were pretty worn out.


Next I straightened the neck with a truss rod with the strings off so I could see which frets are not leveled, where are the gaps and what needs attention. I then protected the fingerboard with some painters tape. I made sure I go all the way to the fret as possible.


I've used 3M mounting double stick tape and 320 sandpaper and taped it to my level/measuring tool. It works really well. I've learned this trick from Dan Erlewine's DVD about repair and maintenance.
