Good Video with some great tips. Thank you. Helped me address a high bothersome fret on my guitar without any drama. I will add if filing a fret, consider you’ll need to sand and polish the fret(s) to remove file marks so you might want to leave just a smidge high and then sand and polish to height .

Sometimes you can take a sledge hammer and drive them down. If that doesn't work just replace the neck.

Great video! If it’s one fret I would use a small wood block and give a couple hammer hits. Sometimes that’s all you need to do also…

Fender gives you a lot of practice these days because their brand new off the shelf US made Telecasters come with anywhere between 10 to 15 high fret areas up and down the neck. Thanks Fender!

Good points. I just got a guitar where the 19th fret is high. The D string buzzes and if you stretch the G and B strings on the 18th fret they will fret out. I will give this a try. If there any other things to be careful of, all advice welcome. Thanks. Phil NYC/Jersey Shore Area

@@yanagida_01 take a round hard felt pad (the ones used on furniture feet) and stick pad on a small hammer head ! The hard felt pad works perfectly without harming fret while hammering fret in place ! I've done many of fret jobs this way ! Buy pads at any Lowe's / Depot !!

If there is just one fret that is high and at a specific point say 1/3 of the fret, would it work to just use a p220 sandpaper to take out some material of the fret?

Polish those frets to a mirror shine - otherwise your bends will not be smooth and fret will wear down faster due to friction.

Great video. I had a guitar with the same problem (high 13th fret on the middle strings) that was making a bad buzzing for a few of my strings when fretting on the 12th fret. I followed this video, performed the same steps and everything is great now. Saved me a lot of money. Thanks!

I have been repairing gtrs for years and have found a better way to do this as it is possible to file the individual fret too low . Use a small dead flat stick - like a gtr nut blank and stick a small width of sandpaper in the middle of this . Then put masking tape either side of the sandpaper , one or two strips or combo of masking tape / parcel tape until you have a flat levelling block that is smooth at each end . You then stone that high fret in the direction shown above until the frets either side stop you going lower - you can feel when you're no longer sanding and it saves having to keep stopping and checking the height

Yes. I have put the sandpaper in the middle. Then put it on the ends, but soft side down. This makes the cutting surface exactly level to the ends.
