What is a fret dress?

 

When a guitars frets become too low or wear uneavenly; fret buzz, tuning instability and intonation problems start to occur. More often than not, the best course of action is a fret dress. The frets are leveled along the length of the fingerboard using a pressision radius sanding block. The frets are then individualy re-crowned using a half-round diamond file, and finally sanded and polished by hand. The end result is a perfectly flat fret plane, with no high or low frets to cause unwanted buzzing or tuning problems!
