Preguntas frecuentes
How do I know if my guitar needs a refret?
A guitar usually requires a refret when the frets show deep grooves, uneven wear, persistent fret buzz, or tuning problems that cannot be fixed with a setup or leveling. Before recommending a full refret, it is advisable to perform a diagnosis of the frets and the neck.
What is the difference between leveling the frets and refretting?
Leveling corrects minor height differences and moderate wear, preserving the existing frets. Refretting involves removing the old frets and installing new ones. The choice depends on the available wear, remaining height, and overall condition of the fretboard.
Can a guitar with a maple fretboard be refretted?
Yes, but it requires more work and care because the finish can be affected during the removal and installation of the frets. In some cases, it is necessary to repair or partially redo the clear coat around the fret slots.
Can a guitar be refretted with binding?
Yes. A fretboard with binding requires a more delicate process to preserve or reconstruct the fret ends and the side finish correctly. For this reason, it often has a higher cost than a standard refret.
How long does a full refret take?
The time depends on the condition of the neck, the type of fretboard, the presence of binding, and the finish. As a reference, it usually requires several days of work between removal, preparation, installation, leveling, polishing, and final setup.
