Day 32 - Inserting fret markers, shaping frets, and final sanding.

I measured and marked the fret marker locations and then created indentations with a brad point.


I drilled the holes for the fret markers.


I inserted and glued the fret markets and then sanded then smooth.



I filed the frets with a fret-crowning file until they had a rounded, curved top.


I filed the ends of the frets to make them smooth.


I filled the joint between the heel cap and the body with epoxy.


I sanded the whole guitar down in incremental stages from 80, 120, 180, 240, and 320-grained sand-paper.
