Squier Refret
This Squier guitar is getting the refret treatment because the owner desires a different feel to the guitar – the previous fret wire was so shallow it made it very difficult to bend and play expressively, so we’re replacing the existing profile with a taller one. Here’s the guitar so far – more tomorrow!

Strat Fret Stone and Set-up
Today I spent some time fret stoning and setting up a Fender USA Deluxe Strat. The fret wear was fairly consistent along the neck, although the upper frets/dusty end weren’t too worn, so needed a touch more attention to bring them into line with the rest of the neck. It was plain sailing though, and sure enough this baby is ready to sing and get going again!
