Todd,

Nice fix and tutorial. How did you cut the "missing parts" of the fret slots in the plug that you glued in? I would have been tempted to cut them in the plug before gluing it in.

Good job. Do you have a picture of the completed repair? I'll bet you can't see any hint of it due to the disappearing ability that ebony patches have.

I use a .022 router bit in a laminate trimmer running in a dedicated close-tolerance track, so no issue doing the work after the fact.

Very nice! May I ask where you get the .022" bits? Thanks.

CET Direct carries decimal sized mini end mills...depth of cut is usually 3X cutting diameter, but that is nearly always deep enough. if you need to go deeper, the saw discussed above should work in the already cut slot.

Thanks Todd! [:Y:]

Reminds me a little of a blog a luthier friend wrote http://grahamparkerluthier.com/2011/11/ ... od-repair/ I helped make the truss rod and all seems well

Todd-just wondering if you put tapered sides-plug-like, on the patch piece to get a gapless fit?

Nonetheless, Todd, a [i]tour de force[i] in repair that shows no evidence of its completion.

Ps-so much for correctness-I was trying for italics.
