It’s inevitable: the extra you play your guitar, the extra your frets put on down. On this video, shot on location at Brooklyn Lutherie, in New York, Mamie walks you thru the totally different phases of fret put on—together with the choices for restore, dressing, and re-fretting—and explains why seemingly small particulars matter a lot relating to sound and playability.
