Worn out frets

Postby meluaz on Sun Jul 04, 2010 5:20 pm

I have had my Gibson explorer for 4 and a bit years now and it is constantly out of tune in some positions on the neck, I set up the intonation on the bridge and that still didn't help. One of my tutors said it could be that the frets have worn out so i took a look at them and saw that most of them have gone completely flat and are in a very bad condition. Have any of you guitarists or bassists ever had this problem and how much does it cost to re fret it? apparently they charge hundreds for it and I don't really have that kind of money but I keep getting different prices from everyone and even a case where my friend took his guitar to denmark street and they completely messed up the fretboard and the frets were un even.

Isn't it a bolt on neck zurab?
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...
