btoth76 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hello! I've decided to learn to do setups on my own. So I can only blame myself if something isn't perfect. The first pack has arrived yesterday. Notched straight-edge, fret rocker, and a levelling beam. (Of course, - despite of the misleading picture - I won't use a beam with 12" radius on the Tele :D). I can't remember who did recommend G&W for me, but huge thanks! Indeed very nice products! A handy fret crowning file with a fretboard protector strip is on the way too from Chris Alsop's shop: Also, I had a chat with Chris about a custom-made crowning file for the Fretless Wonder's low frets. It will be my next purchase, along with a levelling beam with 9.5" radius for the Tele, from G&W. Best wishes... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Paul Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 That's pretty cool Bence. Where do you get this gear from (and how much if you don't mind me asking)? Can anyone do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
