Hey calling all qualified luthiers, I have a vintage stingray that I've decided is going to the grave with me, id like to have it refretted for improved playability and have already come to the conclusion that I have some slight high frets, and instead of crowning already vintage frets, id rather do a refret and have that peace of mind of numerous years without any fret issues.So I. have some local shops that are giving me quotes , but id rather give some fellow tber my business,so if anyone can do a refret on my neck id love to hear from u and some price quotes |

Best of luck. |

I setup & repair guitars & basses | | Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Kensington, Ca | | | If you have just a few frets that are misbehaving, I would counsel you to have a level/recrown done, rather than a full refret. Often, customers will think they need more work than is necessary, this being the biggest offender. A good repairperson will be able to give you back an instrument that will play better than it ever has, or you ever imagined that it could--and without the use of a six-figure German CNC machine!
If you have a ski jump at the end of the neck, then it is best to have a refret done, along with sanding out the ski jump, before the refret.
