945 transactions and 100% positive feedback.
Any negative speculation must be coming from people who have not tried 
this out.  It looks like more than a few have and are very happy with it.
Maybe one of you guys who think this is another 'Rock Block' should see 
if this thing is for real?
I don't see how it would work either but 945 transactions and 100% 
positive feedback says something that blows your angst out of the water.

It sure does. It says that there are lots of ignorant guitar/bass players 
out there that think that sanding down their frets without crowning (and 
polishing) is a wonderful thing, and are happy with shitty intonation (which 
occurs when the tops of your frets are flat).
If the product can get an endorsement from a major, well-known luthier, then 
I will believe it. Getting the feedback from people who are inexperienced 
"do-it-yourselfers" means absolute dogshit."

Pete, I have 29 feedbacks on ebay, whenever I start a new auction, my 
counter doesn't start with 29, it starts from zero, Dude also has more 
than 1000 feedbacks, but when he puts a new auction up, his counter also 
starts from zero.
You know I'm not defending Vic, but I think his 1000 feedback are more 
likely to have been made by people who didn't need a fret dress in the 
first place, nor have now much about setups. I don't know how a person 
could forge so many feedbacks and get away with it...

Jeff, you have not been around lately (glad to see you back though), so 
I assume you where not lurking either, this guy has been spamming a lot 
of newsgroups in an almost weekly basis for the past month, the first 
four times he did this  I let it go, but he keeps doing it, that pisses 
me off enough to report him for abuse, since that's what he's been doing.
Plus, except in case of a very minor wear, you should not sand your 
frets only, but you should crown them, and just a fucking sanding block 
won't do it.

Well, if I were a major luthier I would probably be pretty resistant to 
this guy.  Maybe if he's around for a while, and if his product turns

As far as the product itself, maybe the guy needs to post a video online

Maybe when he talks of 'peaks and polishes the frets' he is referring to

Getting any type of major endorsement takes time.
Think about it.  You are one of the best bass players I have ever heard 
but what kind of endorsements do you have?  How fast did you get them?

I can't help but wonder what your interest in this product is.
As a (hopefully) reputable luthier/repairer I would suggest that the 
product is not going to produce anything like the result any competent 
person could achieve with the right tools.
Not only that but the general consensus amongst repairers is that frets 
should be levelled while the neck is straight, not while under tension.
I agree wholeheartedly with all those that have criticised both the 
unwanted spamming of the group and the unlikely claims made for the 
product.
If you put the results produced by the T&G "method" up against a proper 
fret dress carried out by almost anyone with half an idea of what should 
be done, then I'd be amazed if anyone chose this half-assed solution.
Paul."
    @joe: "<quote>
The product?  None.
The BS from people who haven't even tried it?  Despite nothing but 
positive info from others?  That bothers me a bit.
I'm just defending an underdogs right to FAIR criticism.
How would you like it if someone started criticizing something you had 
done without seeing or hearing it first hand?
Surely you can see my point.
(No, I did not call you Shirley.)
I would wager that you are correct.  However, could it possibly improve 
a fretboard well enough to play decently?
I don't know either, haven't tried it.  BUT I am NOT going to shoot my 
mouth off and say it CAN'T!
Not that you did, I'm just making a point.
This product does not claim, that I can see, to do anything miraculous. 
  It's claims seem quite reasonable.
Spamming?  At least it's on topic.  Unlikely claims?  PERHAPS.
What does a proper fret dress cost, anyway?

Here is the full quote:
"The ridged side of the tool, when combined with the finer grades of 
abrasives, is used to peak and polish the frets. Each step is performed with 
a longitudinal motion of the tool and abrasives for the full length of the 
fingerboard. The entire procedure is done with the strings on and tuned to 
pitch maintaining string and neck tension as it exists under actual playing 
conditions. It does not require adjustment or re-adjustment of the truss 
rod. No special skills are required."
So, he ALSO mentions that you can do all this with the strings on, which 
means, the neck is concave. So, what he is advocating, is essentially 
fucking up your guitar for his profit. Why? B/c if you try to "level frets" 
with the neck like this (concave), you will essentially grind down more of 
the "fret" towards the nut, creating lower frets at the nut then at the 
heel. then while doing that, as if that isn't bad enough, while fixing ONE 
high fret, you have now fucked up the intonation for the ENTIRE NECK, unless 
you crown the frets properly.
Perhaps,YOU, Joe, can explain how you can "peak" the frets (crown) by moving 
this block in "longitudinal" motion?
It's total horseshit."

Joe, I have not used the product, but there is a lot of infos on the net 
about how to do this job, and it's a bit more complicated than that, to 
save you the trouble, here are some quotes I found the last time this 
guy spammed here:
*From*:  <url> skgs/sk/fretcrowning.htm
"I now know all the frets are level, and I have removed no more fret by
  sanding than was absolutely necessary. If we were to stop here and
  polish the frets it would be call a "fret leveling", sometimes a "fret
  dressing". I avoid this in all but the most minor cases as it leaves
  wide flat frets which screw with the intonation and can cause minor 
buzzes."
*From*:  <url> m
"To dress your frets: you will need to adjust your neck as straight as
  you can get it. Then it's a matter of levelling the frets with some type
  of flat, straight abrasive surface. There are as many methods used as
  there are repair people! Some use a good file, others use glass with
  sandpaper attached to it, and some use a good woodworkers' level with
  sandpaper glued to it. To simply describe the process, you use this tool
  to sand down the tops of the frets, taking only the minumum amount
  needed to make ALL of the fret tops the same hieght. Then the frets are
  re-crowned using the fret crowning file and polished to a mirror-smooth
  surface to make playing and note-bending an absolute joy!
Fret-dressing can be a pretty involved process, so read up on all that
  you can before you jump in. Get the right tools and maybe even practice
  on a cheapie or two before you try it on your Les Paul."
*From*:  <url> icli/EasyAction/levlfrts.html
Keep in mind that if your guitar has a radiused or curved fret board
  your sanding should compensate for this curve. There are radiused
  sanding blocks available from some luthier supply houses that will make
  it easier to match the curve of the finger board.
When you are satisfied that all the frets are cleaned-up and level, the
  next step is to remove the abrasive lines left behind by the sanding and
  the burr that is left on both sides of the fret. The abrasive lines can
  be removed with the same sanding block using a side to side motion. The
  burr can be removed using the #400 sand paper by hand, and then on each
fret, carefully sanding off the burr. This will somewhat restore some
  crowning to the top of the fret, however, using a tool designed for
  crowning (available through luthier supply houses) is best and will  
  give the best results as well. Place duct tape in between the frets to
  protect the finger board. Finish up with #000 or #0000 steel wool. This
  will give the frets a nice shiny appearance."

I see what you are saying and thanks for posting all the info.
But for the price, if I had a cheap guitar in need of a fretjob and not 
worth paying for it to be done professionally I would be inclined to 
give it a try. Heck, it might even spark an interest to get into setups 
a bit deeper.
But a nice guitar or bass?
No, I would definitely have it done professionally.

I guess a $20 custom made sanding block for frets might still be so 
terrible.  How much are they regularly?
Mmm...I don't see it.  He flattens then peaks & polishes.  Not so 
unreasonable.
Ha ha.  If I was in the situation to try it I would probably give it a 
shot but if you are so curious buy it yourself.  But a responsible 
person would not badmouth this thing without either first or at least 
second hand info.
Check out the guys feedback!
Now that's funny!

I mean the "ask seller a question" freature that ebay has...you know, so we 
can ALL see the answers?
Ever see that before? It is quite common on Ebay...for some reason, it is 
disabled on his auction.
Why do you act so difficult? Like the other poster says, I think you have 
some sort of connection here. Don't you think it would be a good idea to 
have the "ask the seller a question" feature on this auction?
I guess not."

Ha ha ha.  You'se a funny guy Pete!
The only thing I have been criticizing is people going off on this guys 
product making claims that it claims to do something it doesn't claim to 
do! I have never defended the product just slamming it without trying it 
or at least getting second hand info on it.
If you are so passionate about this thing YOU do it!
But the letter/e-mail idea is a good one and it might help settle a few 
things.

So...you are saying that you did not even try to e-mail him?
Look, are you after information or just looking for something to 
complain about?

Bummer dude.
Well, this isn't being advertised anywhere yet but it is definitely 
going on the auction block as soon as I get my new fretless.  Or the 
right offer.
What do you think it is worth without the case? I bought a Yamaha RBX375 
that fits in the case real well.

    @RobZon5XXX: "My guess, if it's mint, would be 50% of new (see bass NW for current $), as 
somewhere where you want to be... minimum.  55% max?  Whatever you're comfy 
with.  Search ebay closed auctions etc.
