So, I've got a Model 4 neck that I had refretted a couple of years back. I was looking last night and noticed a chip at Fret #1 that was probably from pulling the original frets. It's not huge, but I'd like to fix it. I've since learned to do my own fretwork (thanks to Sully and other YouTubers, and my desire not to go broke because I love Stainless 6100's and fret jobs get pricey), so I know how to fix this sort of thing when it happens with the frets out...but with them in, should I:
a.) Heat the fret up, ease it out, sand a piece of rosewood and pack/CA/accelerate then sand and reinstall the fret
b.) Leave the fret in, sand a piece of rosewood and pack/CA/accelerate and scrape with a razor to level
c.) Something else entirely.
The fret is seated, doesn't mess with the guitar tonally...I just hate the way it looks. Feedback would be awesome. Thanks!
