How to Refret an Acoustic Guitar with Marty MacMillan

In this video I demonstrate how I refret a guitar. This long form video goes into all the intricate details and tools needed to perform a professional refret. After years of playing a guitar the frets will become flat and pitted. This will cause all types of problems... choked out notes, buzzing and bad intonation.

Hi Marty - appreciate the video tutorial. I know this was only a partial refret. But say you had to continue down thru the 11th - 16th frets, wondering what sort of jig you use to support the fret press where the neck joins the body? Or do you just hammer those 5-6 frets in due to the location?

You might want to rethink your audio and eliminate the distracting music while you are talking. Lots of good information....Thanks!
