It has been known to us for years that Frank has more Luthier Mojo in his little finger than you can shake a stick at, just check out Frets.com to see the proof!
My Grandmother always used to say: "If ya got the Mojo ya got to share it with the world." Well, we decided to follow that sage advise. We gathered a few bottles of Frank's mojo and infused it into these shop aprons and t-shirts. Increase your luthier mojo by wearing an official frets.com T-shirts or Shop Apron. You'll impress your friends as well.
He saw a need for a new tool and invented one to perform the task. When you are working on any guitar with a pickup, you eventually will have to tighten the nut that holds the jack in place. This is not a difficult thing to do provided you have access to the back of the jack. You almost always do, provided you don't mind removing pickguards or back plates. Frank's new tool allows you to hold and tighten the nut from the front of the jack. Imagine how much time that saves! It uses an eccentric knurled cam to grip and hold the jack securely. How does he do it?
