Hello,<br />
<br />
I wanted to get some different views about this topic. Feelings on whether there should be tension on the truss rod, moderate tension, or no tension at all when installing new frets. I glue frets in with cyanoacrylate glue, and leave the truss rod completely backed off - this is how I was taught.<br />
<br />
Generally, I have good success with this technique, but there are jobs when things seem to go askew without explanation, usually resulting in a head-scratching re-do. Perhaps a new approach is…

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.<br />

~ Dave Method for cleanly cutting back fretboard.tag:fretsnet.ning.com,2009-05-18:2177249:Topic:138692009-05-18T12:52:40.188ZJeff Smithhttp://fretsnet.ning.com/profile/JeffSmith
I am needing to adjust the front edge of a strat's nut slot to accommodate an LSR roller nut. How do I make the cuts parallel and clean--I know where to cut, I am just really hesitant. Please offer specific methods and tool descriptions. I was thinking of a jig or mitre box arraingement, but so far I haven't found a mitre box with the precision and capacity I am looking for. Thanks!<br />
