: Hey Chris,
:
: Yes you can use wood filler in the gaps left
: by the frets, just fill it and sand it level
: with the fretboard once it's hardened.
:
: If the fretboard is rosewood you do need to
: coat it with something to stop the strings
: chewing the wood up. People seem to use
: epoxy a lot, I couldn't find any so used
: about 7 coats of Ronseal Diamond Hard
: polyurethene varnish on the jazz copy I
: defretted recently, and it's great. Even
: roundwound strings aren't marking it.

:
: A better idea then wood filler..(pls forgive) is find some veneer...as an example...1/32nd should work fine....cut off strups with an exacto knife...glue em in...sand em down....and presto...looks way finer because wood filled frets look like..er..wood filled frets...but if yer happy with it hey....peace...Dave
