Neck & Fretwork
Fretwork is where a guitar is won or lost. A neck that is straight, a fret job that is level and crowned, and a nut cut to the right height are what make an instrument feel effortless — and none of them can be faked.
What this category coversFret wire, slotting, pressing, leveling, crowning, nut files and the truss rod — the work that decides whether the guitar plays in tune up the neck.
