Bluegrass Barn
Great service for Banjos
and other stringed instruments
Some of the steps required for a
Re-Fret
 The worn frets are lifted and removed with a special de-fretting plier |
 Sorting block for the old, and later new frets |
 The new fretwire is marked and cut to length |
 A special tang cutting tool is used to cut the fret tang for bound fretboards |
 The result |
 If necessary the tang is reworked (rare) |
 The fret grooves are cleaned before inserting the frets |
 Fits! |
 The frets are inserted and tapped in lightly |
 And than pressed in with a flat fret caul |
 The fret board is covered with a layer of wax to protect it from the glue |
 Water thin "super glue" is run in |
 The fret ends are filed flush |
 And beveled to a 30-35 deg. angle |
 Inspection |
 The neck is replaced, the Banjo setup, and "test driven" |
