One of the most common work we do , Refretting .
And we're good at it !
And we're good at it !
Many years of season playing can cause the strings to "eat" into the frets . Some people complain the frets are too low , and buzz's starts to happen ... Fear not!
With a nice Fret rocker tool , we can see which frets to change ! not all frets need to be change at once ! Its called partial refret! Althought you may choose to do a full refretting ..
There's a low fret! See the lights coming thru? TIme to pull out the frets! and replce them with a similiar fret. After checking the frets , its a 150 !
Common fret sizes in tubes !
We like to press our frets , it has a more consistant results and a more professional touch .. This presses are the same used in GIbson , Fender and PRS factories
Great tool !
After pressing , we're gonna level it .. to make sure we get a nice and straight frets level .
This is what it looks like after leveling
Side view
We cant play a flat fret ! the intonation will be horrible ! We're gonna make it round ! How? First , we'll need to protect the fretboard from getting damage. This custom made guard does the trick !
