For acoustic, electric and bass guitars

Repair Services

If your guitar is due for a refret, now is a good time to make sure the existing frets are what you want and match your playing style. New frets can not only change the way your guitar plays and feels, but also enhance the tone and sustain. Some acoustics come with really small frets, you may want to consider a small-medium width fret that's not too tall as a replacement. For electric guitar players theres low medium wides for blues players to tall pyramid jumbos for shredders and many widths and heights in between. There are stainless steel fret wires and of course the 18% silver nickle. Once your guitar neck is mounted in the neck jig, I can take accurate measurments on the cleaned fret slots that will allow me to adjust the slots or use a fret wire tang size that will neither over compress or leave the neck too loose. I choose to press frets in and to never hammer on the crown of a fret. When I have to hammer, I use a fret caul and a brass drift between the hammer and the fret caul holder. It disperses the impact of the hammer blow to a wider fret surface and reduces the risk of damage to the fret, the fretboard and even the guitar itself.
