Under String Under Tension Leveling of Guitar Frets

Welcome to the Next Project.Today we are taking a crash-course in fret leveling with the neck under string tension…but with the strings pushed out of the way. PATENT NOTICE: The Rectify Master Katana, which is mentioned in this video, is a patented design and product in the US, UK and potentially other parts of the world. The "Katana" is not a Banana, nor a truss rod called a "banana". It should be known that the patented Intellectual Property of the Rectify Master Katana should not be reproduced, stolen, manufactured or otherwise copied. The designer and owner of Katana patent, has asked that I make it clear that his designs are patented. The process shown in this video was not invented by Mr. Deeks, but does draw inspiration and reference in understanding of the process from his video. 00:00 - intro 00:21 - back story 01:54 - step 1 set up 05:14 - step 2 the banana 06:50 - what if? 08:53 - quick crown 09:53 - spit shine n' tuna - take away I recent video had a few comments suggesting that I take a look at the work and processes of Sam Deeks. ‪@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars‬ Mr. Deeks does a lot of guitar repair and setup, has a lot of informational videos here on YT. Sam's Channel:    / @samdeeksrelovedguitars   How to use the Banana:   • How to use the Banana   I strongly urge you to check Sam’s channel if this sort of process is of interest to you. The "how to use the banana" is a great informational video, a bit long, but worth a couple cups of coffee. There are a few tools on the market that can help you with this basic process, yet each tool may have its own process and unique steps to achieve a desired outcome... go figure. Here are some links, check them out! Rectify Master Katana: https://rectifymaster.com/katana WudTone UTFL: https://www.wudtone.com/product/wudto...

I hope you enjoyed this learning curve project. I found it to be a big step forward, a great way to verify or improve basic flat fret leveling. I can see this being of high value when working on a guitar that has fretting issues, but doesn't need a full level... who knows where this may take us. I want to offer a huge thank you to both Sam Deeks, and to Randy, a good friend and subscriber to this channel. Thank you for pointing me toward Sam's video, I had missed seeing it. Be safe and take care!
