Focused on fretwork today. After straightening the neck, the frets were checked with a Fret Rocker. A total of seven low frets were identified, ranging from the 3rd right up to the 21st. Subsequently, all the frets were leveled, recrowned and polished. The final step was conditioning the fretboard with Dunlop Lemon Oil.
