Guitar Repair #382 - Setup - Cort L100-0 NS - Acoustic

 Cort L100-0 NS
 Before
 After
 After working a quite a few Corts, the fret work on a Cort is very consistent. Frets are usually levelled well, if not, they level easily with pounding. The only thing is the ends are not rounded enough, but not sharp. Great fret work for a budget priced instrument!
Restored. This will help the lady owner to play really easy, after complaining of hand fatigue/pain, on this newly setup guitar.
