one step closer...

to having a guitar that is slightly less a piece of shit than before.

So I finally got all the frets glued down and began levelling them. about 80% of the way thru the proccess, I discovered that the neck was warped/bowed. No reinforcement/truss rod. I gave up on that, it was close enough anyways.

Crowned them all last night, did the last 3 this morning, and polished em up. Cleaned up the fretboard with some pledge, a toothbrush, and a sock, and then glued in the nut. Here's some pics....





Gonna let the glue dry probably overnight, then put the saddle back in, string it up, and see how awful it feels and sounds.
