Fret Work Services

Over time and with extensive playing, the frets on your instrument can wear down, becoming flat or dented. This wear leads to uneven frets, causing an annoying buzz when you play certain notes. Regularly checking your frets for signs of wear can help maintain the quality of your sound.

Our Fret Work Options

We offer two comprehensive fret work services: Level and Redress, or Complete Refret.

Level and Redress

If your frets have enough material left and aren’t excessively worn, our Level and Redress service can restore them to optimal condition:

• Neck Straightening and Fret Leveling: We straighten the neck and level all the frets.
• Fret Recrowning: We round the tops of the frets to ensure smooth playability.
• Polishing: We polish the frets, making them look and feel as good as new.

Complete Refret

For frets that are too worn down, we recommend our Complete Refret service. This process involves:

• Fret Removal: We carefully remove the old frets from your instrument.
• New Fret Installation: We offer both nickel silver and stainless steel frets, installed with precision.
• Leveling and Crowning: We level the new frets and round the tops for a perfect playing surface.
• Edge Filing and Smoothing: We file and smooth the edges for comfort and playability.
• Polishing: We polish the new frets to a beautiful shine, enhancing both appearance and performance.
