How to File SHARP Fret Ends on Budget Guitars

[@TehShammay]

Also happens on very expensive instruments if you dont keep em humidified. Useful video, thank you! So tired of cutting myself on those sharp ass frets

[@FretboardDiaries]

Very true… I just moved from a very humid area to a dry area and it’s thrown off the action of most of my guitars.. I’m actually going to get a humidifier for my room to help… 🤘🎸

That stew Mac file is a must have !! Some music nomad Frine is a great fret polish to get as well! Great video bro 😎

[@FretboardDiaries]

Hey thanks for the kind words! Appreciate the comment 🤘🎸 The Frine definitely takes fret polishing to the next level

[@FesleyMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@GuitarsandDrones]

Nice job, shiny ✨ makes the tone gooder

[@FretboardDiaries]

😂 not really but we’ll roll with that… I may not play great but my guitar sure looks sexy 🤣 😂

[@GuitarsandDrones]

@@FretboardDiaries 😂😂😂 looks great that Fesley

[@FretboardDiaries]

@@GuitarsandDrones Hell yeah, I’m gonna mod the pickups and this thing is going to shred 🤘🎸

[@TAZnator]

Thank you!

[@DUKEofWAIL]

good video. Thanks!

[@wasteddude9387]

Yeah, If I remember correctly, Fesley is viewed by a lot of budget guys as one of those companies whose body and neck quality is perfect for serious mod work. Btw, another cool video. Thanks.

[@FretboardDiaries]

Indeed, neck is great on both Fesley’s I have… I can’t wait to mod this SuperStrat but I haven’t had time, definitely going to happen soon, gonna drop some rails in this thing and let it rip!

[@Sigma77-n2u]

Haha high end Jackson guitars are notorious for sharp fret ends 😂. Not just cheap guitars

[@FretboardDiaries]

Definitely not exclusive to budget guitars, but definitely more common… I also have a few $800-$1000 range guitars that needed fret leveling too. Feels like it shouldn’t be an issue at that price point, but clearly, it can be

[@Francis-f5k]

Why is this even an issue. Even on a budget guitar that shouldn't be a thing.

[@FretboardDiaries]

It’s a very common issue with guitars under $200… Even Squiers have this problem. They have to get the price down somehow, and when you consider that at the time of this video, this guitar was like $120 shipped, it makes sense.

[@Francis-f5k]

@FretboardDiaries no it doesn't. They are unplayable. A friend just bought one, that's why I found this video. Unacceptable.

[@FretboardDiaries]

Okay man, than it’s advisable that you spend a bit more money on a better quality instrument, because this is a very common problem on sub-$200 guitars 🤷‍♂️
