Recently, my led-fretboard quit it’s job. There was a problem somewhere at the pcb, supposely a little copper chip that shorted the data line. To fix this issue I had to desolder all the frets connected to the microcontroller board. To make the (de-)construction of the neck and the exchange of single frets easier for the next time, I designed a solder free connector-bar. I thought it would be interesting to somebody how the neck is built so I made this timelapse of the re-building process. Because I currently don’t have a lot of time It’s pretty raw – no video cutting or sound editing – just the whole process at 30 times speed:
