replacing a fret

Nicolas

is it common to have to replace some new frets on a guitar every few years ? I have my JS since 2003 ( was a new reissue) and theres 3-4 frets that are quite used, theres even a hole that begin to dig on the second fret, where i play and bend the strings a lot. for the moment it's not a problem cause my guitar still play nicely and doesnt buzz but i guess eventually it will start to buzz.

don't replace it till it becomes a problem. Also, if you aren't familiar with refretting, let someone else deal with it. In a year or 3, PM me, and I'll gladly do it for you for free, as I'll most likely use the job to document and make a thread about it.

Cheers! 😁
