    Bollocks.  There's is no way that he has accounted for a sharpie in that £3.30.

    Maybe he nicked it from work (isn't that what everyone does with pens?)

    Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

    Not unless it was back bowed to begin with, no.

    That's actually what some of the frets on my LTD look like after 8 years of being played every day.  Flat.  And dull.  

    I'm probably going to sell it soon as my @GSPBASSES build will fill my 2 humbucker needs, I reckon I'll get more for it if I have the frets levelled and dressed first.  I'll rewire it, too, as one of the pots is a bit shite...

    Indeed, you need to remove strings and then adjust truss rod to get neck perfectly straight when not under pressure.

    Levelled maybe, but they still need to be crowned.

    yeah, that ain't good.

    although sandpaper stuck to glass does make very good sanding boards for some purposes, what he has there would be great for the scary sharp sharperning system and probably could be used for levelling frets if more care was taken
