Worn and filed frets
Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2013 7:33 am
'Few years ago, 'purchased a nice Combo probably late 60s, from an Oklahoma dealer.
Great guitar and despite spending 15 years before hitting the used guitar market...in a barn in Texas, it's a really nice player in better shape than "should be."
Frets are SO low, proably average about .015 inch. Grooves on some decrease even that height.
Frets to have some file marks and grooves (also on Zero fret) and some low-notes fingerboard wear. Some binding has been repaired and looks fragile along the neck, as well.
There is an honest terror about having her refretted.
Thoughts, anyone?
Thank you.
