At Emily Caroline Hand Crafted Guitars we use a 'neck jig fixture' to freeze the neck in place for repairs. This allows us to keep the neck relief as it is under string tension when repairs are made. This setup allows super accurate fret work and minimizes the chance of nicks and dings from unnecessary handling
We use Radius Blocks that accurately restore the curve of the fret board, eliminating both high and low spots. This pre-step prepares the frets so they are ready to be recrowned and then highly polished thereby reducing fret noise and producing a beautiful job for you !.
This instrument was repaired for Anna Odem and now her frets gleam like New money. This instrument is an heirloom in the family and will be passed on. These types of instruments have a value to the owner beyond money and at Emily Caroline Hand Crafted Guitars we understand this love very well.
Here we are fine tuning the intonation of a new instrument just before we cut the saddle slot. Making it perfect.
This guitar sounds great!
