Step 4
I ordered the frets (the thin metal wire-like things that go on the neck) off of eBay. I then pre cut the slots in the neck, and inserted them gently with my finger. Since most of them were only going in half way I got out my hammer. I tried hitting them softly so as not to damage them, but sometimes it couldn't be helped. Most of the frets beyond the 15th cause the strings to buzz which is why you should always use the right tool for the right job. Then, for extra support when installing the guitar head to the neck, I drilled a hole on the end of both the head and neck, so that a steel dowel could be glued in to them. Once every thing was glued, the only step left was to glue the head and neck to the body (there's no feet), and string it up.
