Refret??? whats a refret?

Post by Taffy Evans » Tue Jul 09, 2013 7:19 am

Here's a few more captions that could be used:
DIY fingerboard scalloping,
Guess my favorite playing position
New meaning to "playing in a groove"
Why wont it play in tune?

There's more I know, but I'll stop here......but feel free to add any.

I was instructed to do the refret but leave the fingerboard as is. :roll:

What Make is the guitar ?

I wouldn't mind doing that to a fret board .
That much wear has to mean a more practice or more sitting around playing .
:idea: don't go to work , just play the guit all day . :D

You'd better keep the pulled frets, your customer might want to have them back in place once he will have noticed being in trouble to hold the fretted string where it belongs to...

I'm pretty sure Yngwie Malmsteen scallops his across the board? :lol:
That is one pre loved guitar! By the look of the photo your customer doesn't bend much past the 7th fret!

Could mean a lot of things eg. player plays D/G/A in conjunction with capo anywhere from frets 0 to 5!

Nah...He's paid a considerable amount of money to have his perfectly finished and setup guitar reliced, it's more valuable now :roll:
