cajunboy2k Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I bought this neck a few years ago. I was hopping to use it for an "S" style Ibanez body. Now I have a plan for a BC Rich Gunslinger body that I will put it on. By the looks of the frets, it was played pretty hard. All the frets down to #13 look like this. I was wondering if I should get the frets leveled, or just re-fret the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 looks like there is plenty of meat left for a level and crown!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 looks like there is plenty of meat left for a level and crown!! +1 That's the nice thing about jumbo frets--you can recrown them for years. Unlike the tard bucket "vintage" wire that Fender put on my MIM Strat back in '95! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djhollowman Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Sweet!! My Westone Spectrum's frets look like that, and I was thinking I was gonna have to refret! Mine are so bad that I can't get it to play in tune properly at the first 3 or 4 frets. Maybe the nut needs work too, hmm... Anyway, good thing I just ordered a fretfile! Now I'll be able have a go at levelling and recrowning first, and if I stuff that up I can refret anyway. Result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
