Fret Dress, Handcrafted Bone Saddle + Setup On Yamaha

Handcrafted Bone Saddle + Sharp fret ends dressed on this very nice 1970's Yamaha FG-351SB.


The frets were badly pitted and my usual preference is to Refret when at that height, luckily I am a bit of a magician at this sort of fretwork and have managed to dress out the 40 years of wear!


The neck had quite a forward bow and needed to be tightened quite a lot once strung up with Rotosound JK 11's. I've replaced the plastic bridge saddle to one of my handcrafted bone saddles to mimic the fretboard and nut radius for better intonation and action height.
