I have no idea what your problem is. I don't even know who you are.
i'm just a perceptive person and i can smell bullshit a mile away.
the damage doesn't look too bad from the pictures. you'd obviously have to strip the finish in that location and refinish it, but the damage looks pretty local. a complete refret is wholly unnecessary.

I disagree. I think resurfacing only a single spot would turn out a mess. How would you get it to match? It if was rosewood, that would be different.

that really depends on what kind of finish is used. if it's lacquer, then it will blend with itself and you could do it flawlessly. if it's poly, then forget it, you'd have to refinish the whole thing. but refretting is way drastic.

so in other words, bubbles is absolutely right and you're just a fucking used car salesman piece of shit?
Dave... if the nut is set up just right in terms of height and radius, what would be the point of resurfacing that area? Is it solely cosmetic?
Although its probably unnecessary, there ARE a lot of benefits from refreting a neck like that. My Toronado came out better than ever when I refretted even though it was only the first three frets that had damage. Mostly because we put vintage frets on 'em.

Yes. Resurfacing would be just to cosmetically fix the burnt bubbled finish. The hard part is going to be widdle'n out the plastic nut.
If anyone thinks that I'm lying by saying this is an not easy fix, well........
