This course was a light bulb moment for me making an otherwise gnarly, time consuming and no-fun task into a breeze. Peter

I purchased your ‘fret” (online) class and just finished refretting one of the Martin guitars I use for “work’ With EVO Gold frets. Have been a working guitarist and session singer for the last 40 years. The guitar came out great thanks to Kent’s tutelage!! Larry
I thoroughly enjoyed Kent Everett’s fretwork videos Russ
I thought Kent shared some great information on Fretwork and had a brilliant sense of humour throughout too. Dermot
Thanks for putting together these excellent tutorial videos on Fretwork. Dermot
I finished the rest of the course today and enjoyed it a lot – in addition to learning a lot of new information (and I already built one of those 13th fret cauls) Larry
