Make “Grabby Frets” With Super Glue

Cool Guitar Stuff

Squirt some super glue into your fret slots, wait for it to dry, and then carefully recut the slots so that fret tangs will have a harder and more stable surface to “grab” and bite into. This is really only necessary if you’re having trouble with the frets not grabbing properly in the first place though so most times you can do without.

Also, on the subject of super glue, it can often be quite messy – resulting in fingers being covered in the stuff. If you don’t have any remover then use some sandpaper or a pumice stone and remove the glue that way. Be warned though that you only have seven layers of skin so it can become rather tender there towards the end. Also make sure that your glued-up hands are nowhere near your face or eyes as the vapors from super glue is enough to cause much discomfort.
