How to fit different bridges i.e. Gotoh wrap over, Wilkinson, tune-o-matic, Hannes, Floyd rose. How to work out exact placement and alinement plus correct height For neck angle to hit the bridge correctly.

Hi Mark, 

Could you show us how to safely remove old worn out frets and preparing the fretboard for new frets.

Cheers,

Russ ✌️??

Hi Mark,

There seems to be an awful lot of fret dressing files out there. Could you talk us through the different types....from the basic ones that could be used to the advantages of the more advanced/expensive ones.

Cheers,

Russ

Hi Mark,

It's not guitar building but would you fancy doing a session on string gauges and what all the numbers mean..... and the best way to restring the guitar? I know most people could just Google it but it would be good to hear your thoughts on it all.

Cheers,

Russ✌️???
