Heres what you do mate.

Get the neck off the body. The beauty of fender bolt on necks is that their very very easy to work on.

Get some painters tape/masking tape and mask off the entire fretboard, as previously stated.



Dont bother going over the frets then cutting out the fret tops like that bloke. It's excessive, time consuming and imagine how bad he'll feel if he slips with that scalpel.

When you get up to your thinner frets simply cut the masking tape through the middle to fit butt it up to one fret. If your a little short of the other fret, simply cut another piece or use your offcut and layer it over the first bit of tape, butting up to the fret you were short of. It's better when their layered anyway.

Very very time consuming boring labourious work that bit.

Then get some of this.


I prefer the wadding cloth soaked in the metalpolish type. Just rip a bit off the cloth and rub it up and down the frets one at a time. When the bit of cloth you tore off gets a bit dry, simply tear some more off and use that.

Your going to notice horrible black gunk dribbling down the sides of the neck and soaking into the masking tape. It's perfectly normal and wont do any harm. Just wipe it off every now and again.

When you've done all the frets take the masking tape off and give the entire neck a decent clean.

Hey presto job done. Labourious but not hard.

Sorry I cant show you any better photo's. Photobucket are giving me jip as you can probably tell from the signature. I've got to polish the hotrods frets so will be doing that sometime soon. If I can find a image hosting site I can work, I'll upload some to that.
