Nice. I usually like colored headstocks, but for once I'm not feelin that... Maybe cuz it's such a light color? Either way. frets look good.

WHAT HAPPEN ?!

I gave my JS to a local guy to send out for fretz many months ago.He jerked me around until I went to police today and threatened him.He miraculously coughed up my JS today.That's what happen.I dint even have to shoot him.
Never,ever do that shite again thats fo shore.I'll have to learn how to do the frets myself.

Beautiful job,smooth.The guy that did it knows his shit.The JS has the nicest frets of all my guitars.Cost $250.00 cuz the guy that did the first fret job was a butcher.And he set it up real good.

Cool beans man, I'm glad you got things squared.

250.00!!!!
thats a bit much,
usually even the best of luthier charge 15 a fret, and thats at the high end, since he took so long he should have only charged 10 a fret, top end.
but if it plays welll and you are satified then its worth it.

All the luthiers I talked to around here charge about $300 for a refret.
