The Muse I Adorn

That must be the problem; I need one of those!
No, in actuality its all on me.

I really like Leslies phrasing and the basic turn around licks he used often.
Silver Paper.
and that scorching vibrato.

I know, old school boring pentatonic blues, but hey, I dig it.

Yeah, I’m still working on getting those staccato notes right up on the 19th fret in the opening lick.

Looks good. Nice job.

Getting it nice and smooth like an Ibanez prestige.... smart!!

It makes a definite difference in the feel. Much nicer and more comfortable. I do this to all my guitars once I decide they are keepers.

I actually did it a few years ago, but since I decided this is basically my number one now, I put the finishing touches on the fret ends last night.

I also ordered some new tuners. They should be here tomorrow.

That's awesome. There's nothing like the feeling of smooth frets. I have a few guitars that are so smooth you wouldn't know it had frets. And then I pick up one that's rough..... what a difference.

How many different size files do you use for something like that? I have a epiphone LP I use as a guinea pig. It has fairly rough ends. Be fun to practice some smoothing skills.

I have a full set of needle files. Best thing I ever bought for working on guitars.

I used the flat file and the square (4 cornered) file to do this.

Finished it with 800 and 1500 grit wet dry sandpaper. Took about 3 or 4 hours total.
