Common Causes of Fret Buzz
The most common cause of fret buzz is a high fret. Frets that are not seated properly during installation will be high, resulting in fret buzz. Wear will cause a fret to be lower than the fret in front of it. Again, the result is fret buzz. A fret only a couple of thousandths of an inch high can cause a buzz. Fret leveling will take care of the problem.
Fret files leave deep scratches that are difficult to remove. Removing these scratches can result in additional fret buzz.
Fix Fret Buzz Easily
The kit will level, crown and dress fret without files – and without scratches! Level and crown the frets sanding block and 220 grit sand paper. Dress and polish the frets with the 400 grit sandpaper and steel wool. An optimal set up is achieved when all the frets are in the same plane. Optimize your guitar’s set up with the BUZZ-OFF® Fret Leveling Kit.

Buzz-Off™ Fret Leveling Kit – Origins and Limitations
Luthier John Bogdanovich developed the kit to level and set up guitars. If your neck is twisted or warped in any way this kit will not be the answer to your problems, as a more involved repair is in order. The kit is not for neck flattening. If the problem is one or more of your frets are higher than they should be, this kit will find, level, and dress any high frets in no time, a simple fret buzz fix.
The dowels will find the high frets. The sanding block and sand paper will crown and dress the frets. The steel wool will polish the frets to a shine.

Excellent product as have been everything else I have purchase from JB. Just about to complete my first guitar build from John’s book/DVD and this levelling Kit made the fretwork a breeze.

This minimalist approach to fret leveling is spot on. Inexpensive and maybe most important, no fret files that might do more harm than good in inexperienced hands like mine!

I struggle for achieving the best fret work that I can do, and this Buzz-Off Fret Leveling Kit is perfect for isolating high frets and working them down for eliminating fret buzz. The three steel dowels are perfect across the fretboard and the wooden jig works just great. This tool kit is both effective in finding and eliminating fret buzz and the price is great!

Hello John,
Thank you again for rushing your Buzz-Off Fret Leveling Kit to me so quickly.
I was able to get rid of the buzz on my son’s Taylor in no time. Found two frets that needed leveling and your kit worked exactly as advertised. I have several other guitars I plan to use your kit on.
It was easy to use and worked great.

Hello John,
I am more-than-happy to provide my review of your Buzz-Off Fret Leveling kit, which thus far has enabled me to resurrect a 1970’s Les Paul with average fret heights < 0.02", and also eliminate string buzz and poor intonation on a CIJ Fender Strat with multiple worn and dented frets.
Thanks very much for making the Buzz-Off kit available to "lay" guitarists like myself. It is only entry-level tool I've encountered that de-mystifies the fundamental skill required to achieve the professional fret work of a Luthier.
