Quick Answer

To install the Coffee EZ Glide OG Fret Button Pack, you'll need a Phillips head screwdriver and a Torx head screwdriver. The process involves removing the old fret buttons, swapping in the new precision-molded Coffee Edition buttons, and reassembling the neck. Take care not to overtighten screws or misalign the button springs.

What You’ll Need Before Starting

The Coffee EZ Glide OG Fret Button Pack is designed specifically for the CRKD OG-style guitar controller fret neck. Each button features a matte EZ Glide finish for smooth, responsive play, and the Coffee Edition adds a warm, customizable aesthetic. Before you begin, gather a Phillips head screwdriver and a Torx head screwdriver. Tools are not included with the pack, so check your toolkit ahead of time.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

  1. Remove the Neck from the Controller: Unplug the guitar controller from your console or PC. Locate the neck release mechanism (usually a sliding latch or screw on the back) and detach the fret neck carefully. Place the neck on a clean, flat surface. Common mistake: Forgetting to unplug the controller can cause electrical shorts. Always power down first.
  2. Unscrew the Backplate of the Neck: Using the Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws on the back of the fret neck. Keep them in a small container so they don’t roll away. Gently lift off the backplate to expose the fret button assembly. Checkpoint: Note the screw positions — some necks use different screw lengths. Lay them out in order to avoid confusion during reassembly.
  3. Remove the Old Fret Buttons: Each fret button is held in place by a small spring and a Torx screw. Use the Torx head screwdriver to remove the screw, then lift out the button and spring together. Repeat for all five fret positions. Common mistake: Losing the tiny springs. Work over a tray or bright surface, and keep each spring paired with its button until reassembly.
  4. Install the Coffee Edition Fret Buttons: Place a spring into the recess of each new Coffee Edition button, then insert the button into the fret slot. Align the screw hole and tighten the Torx screw gently — just snug, not over-torqued. Checkpoint: Over-tightening can crack the button or strip the plastic. Stop turning as soon as the button sits flush and doesn’t wobble.
  5. Reattach the Backplate and Neck: Replace the backplate and secure it with the Phillips screws in the correct order. Reattach the neck to the guitar controller body, ensuring the latch clicks firmly. Test each fret button by pressing it a few times before playing. Final tip: If a button feels sticky or misaligned, reopen the neck and check that the spring is seated properly — don’t force the button down.
