Icaughtfire006 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Just wondering if theres anybody out there that does cheap neck refrets, i say cheap only because its a squier 51 neck that i want bigger frets on and wouldnt really want to sink a large amount of money into it, anyone interested? Im in NY if that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoundAt11 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 The ones I've seen have run anywhere from $100 to $200. It's a labor-intensive process and it's certainly worth that much. I've refretted one neck myself. It works, but it ain't pretty :-P For a $100, you could buy a new Mighty Mite neck online with jumbo frets. I say that because I've got one from them and it's well made, stays in tune, has HUGE frets, sounds great, feels great, etc. Plus, you could sell off that Squire neck, I'm sure someone would be happy to have one with small frets.

crafty Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 How big do you want? The last '51 I played had huge, but poorly dressed, frets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are you'll get a bad job done and you won't be happy in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Having just fretted a neck I built, I can tell you it shouldn't be cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezFreak666 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 what about just replacing one fret? i had a huge dent in one and i needed to file it out..now i think its gonna be too low to work properly :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodBlessTexas Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ya but i figured id see whats out there You can do a refret (practice makes perfect!) for less than $100 if you are inclined to buy the tools and do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
