High polish fretjob

High polish fretjob

Do you notice the reflection of light continuing from the glossy body thru the frets? This is our high polish fretjob.
Even though this is a high end G&L GUITAR, its fret ends have become sharp due to weather and age. Not only did we do the corner filing to fix this but we also gave it a fret polish from hell with a fine paper & even finer liquid cutting compound.
When you bend after our fretwork, trust us, u bend smoothly & EFFORTLESSLY, MORE SUSTAIN FROM LESS IMPERFECTION- Bas
