A Guitar Called Jack--Part 73

 

Cleaning up the fingerboard: First, Gerry adjusted the trussrod so that the fingerboard is more or less flat (i.e., no relief). He then leveled the fret-tops. Once the fret-tops are level, he re-radius the fret-tops, as they now have flat spots on top where they were leveled. After the fret-tops are re-radiused, the frets and fingerboard are sanded and buffed. (In the picture you can see lots of junk on the fretboard which gets removed with the final sanding and buffing.)
