'Fret Job' - Stage 8..... Re-Beveling the Fret Ends.
The fret ends need to be properly re-beveled
at about 45 degrees from 1st to last.
It helps to be 'ambidextrous' to do this task.
This is the process that gives a nice
smooth feel to the fret ends, so the hand just glides along the
fingerboard when playing.
This is also the process where you have to be careful not to damage the finish
around the neck joint area - hence the masking tape.
