"I pull out all the stops on this tape and share every trick I know some of these I've never shown anyone before. You'll feel as if you've spent several weekends in my shop working with me on some tough fretjobs!" — Dan

The focus of this video
Beyond the information covered in Fret Basics. Professional-level work on tricky fretjobs.


Information covered in this tape
A 1970s Martin D-35 with a warped neck — the complete fret job:
  • Heat-straightening a warped neck
  • Compression fretting using a hammer and the Erlewine Fret Press
  • Controlling a nonadjustable neck using the Erlewine Neck Jig
  • Fretting a bound fingerboard
  • Sizing fretwire to fit the job
Refretting a 1954 Gibson Les Paul® Goldtop:
  • Replacing original vintage frets
  • Loose crown inlays
  • Very difficult truss rod fix
  • Vintage fret job considerations
  • Problems on the job! (Loose fingerboard repair)
  • Dan's never-before-seen "fret-end shaping grinder"
  • "Low profile," fret dressing for famed Nashville guitarist Leon Rhodes
  • .025" fret height proper shaping for speed playing and "hitting the big note"
Bonus: See and hear Dan's hero Leon Rhodes play. Filmed in Nashville, this is a mini guitar lesson you shouldn't miss.










"I simply couldn't fit all the fretting tips and techniques - nor the variety of fret jobs - that I wanted to share in just one advanced fretting tape. Read the tape descriptions, and you'll see why. For example, would you miss 'Fender Sideways Fretting'? No way!" — Dan

The focus of this video
Additional advanced techniques for the professional.


Information covered in this tape
  • Partial refret and "leveling-in" a Guild acoustic 12 — string (an excellent lesson in using the Erlewine Neck Jig)
  • Bryan Galloup's production fret method for acoustic guitar builders (repairmen can use this, too)
  • Using an arbor press to fret a brand-new unfretted neck
  • The Fender "sideways" fretting technique
  • Professional fret leveling on a '57 Gibson Les Paul Historic using the Erlewine Neck Jig: (getting the most out of the truss rod; "blueing" frets for leveling; crowning and polishing)
  • Texas-style fretwork with Michael Stevens
  • Martin bar-style fretting with TJ Thompson

These DVDs are not "region-specific," and are intended for worldwide use.
