You're probably looking at $175 for that. I can't tell you what GMW charges for sure, but I had one done locally and that's what it cost. (this was a bolt on neck)

I heard that there's a shop in Mexico that'll do it for $35.00.

Yeah, and all the burritos ya want while they do it [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Seriously....A good refret is expensive...moreso with a bound board....

Get references, and ask to see some of his work...if he is worth his salt, he'll have a couple of guitars/necks that he's done.

A bad refret will totally ruin your day [img]graemlins/images/icons/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

If you'll click on the Easton Guitars link above you'll find that they do them for $75.00 to $90.00

Re: Having a Neck RE-Fretted

I am seriously considering shipping some of my guitars to Kevin for repairs (including one that needs a refret). So far, I have tried 6 places over the last year here in Cincinnati for simple repairs like pickup installation (before I got over the fear and did it myself) and setups. I had to take every one back atleast 1 time for glaring workmanship problems on each....the volume and tone controls worked backwards, fret buzz worse than it was prior to service, neck pickup not even wired up, and plenty of new dings. This wasn't just one place, either, which tells of the quality repairmen we have here. I have heard nothing but good about Kevins repair shop, and I intend on trying him out the next time I need something done (the $40 shipping would be worth it to me to not have the problems I've had!).
BTW, does anyone in the greater Cincy area have a recommendation for a repair shop ?
