DIY Guitar Fret Repair: Fixing Gaps & String Snags on an AKLOT Telecaster

Is your high E string getting caught under your frets? Join me as we tackle a common budget guitar issue on this AKLOT SolTone series Telecaster. On this journey we tackle the work step by step: Identify fret lift using a simple string "loop" apparatus. Secure loose frets using a CA glue and sawdust technique. Smooth fret ends and polish the fingerboard for a "silky smooth" feel. Whether you're a beginner or a DIY enthusiast, you don't need to be a professional luthier to fix playability issues and turn a budget guitar into a rock and roll machine. It’s not about making it "picture perfect" —it’s about making it feel and playability. Key Topics Covered: Guitar neck maintenance and fretwork. Using CA glue for fret seating. Leveling, crowning, and polishing frets. Fixing the "string snag" issue on budget guitar necks.
