This is one of the most crucial services for any fretted instrument. It’s all about accuracy, sustainability, and discipline.
By the uncountable times of staging and practice, your axe might have badly worn out, oxidized frets, or even some poorly seated pop-up fret tang. Those can directly cause buzzing, intonation and tuning problems, strings choking and awful friction feel across the frets.
If you want to dig out the best playability and the most authentic tone of your instrument, a precise fretwork is the first thing you need before set up.
