[Tom Doerr]

The MD has been strung up for about a week. I like to have the guitar strung up for at least a week before I fret it. Once it's under tension for a bit I put it on the stewmac neck jig. On this jig I can get the neck to stay in the position as if there was string tension on it without the strings being in the way. I then level the fretboard as perfect as possible. I like to have it as straight as possible with a touch of fall off on the tongue, treble side straight, little relief on the bass side.











Ready for frets



For the frets I'm using gold evo. I typically use stainless fret wire but lately been loving the evo. The fret are treated with semi hemisherical fret ends. Tomorrow I'll have them all in and leveled. Thanks for looking!
