Greetings all,
I am fixing this old Favilla for my wife. I am fine replacing the the nut, shaving down the bridge and replacing the tuners but I have never installed a fret before. This is one of those ukes with no fretboard. The frets are installed directly into the neck and the 12th fret, which is where the body and neck meet, is missing.
The fret wire I purchased from StewMac is made for 0.58mm slots. I measure this slot at 0.5mm. Is that close enough or do I need to widen the slot?
Thanks for any ideas,
Doug
