Installing the frets


20210610
I began to install the frets onto the fingerboard next.
However, no matter what I tried I could not get the frets to seat into the slot fully.
So I purchase the fret clamping tool to force the frets to sit into the slot using a clamp.
THe tool will need about 1 month to arrive though.

Finally the tool arrived and so I began to install the frets.
Unfortunatelly it cant go in still!!
Then I suspect could it be the fret tang is too big for the slot?
So I change to my usual fret from LMI.
And voila! The fret get seated in nicely.
So I began to use the tool to install the rest of the fret.

Next the fret ends are dressed and all the frets are levelled nicely to avoid the buzzes.
