    The big boys charge almost €250.

    Expensive if you have a cheap guitar.

    Try polishing them before refretting.

    I have a guitar that could do with refretting, but the guitar cost me next to nothing. Thing is, it sounds great and plays pretty well apart from the bends being a bit harsh. Replacing the guitar is difficult as it's actually one that had a pickup swapped in the neck position that's quite hard to get these days.

    Yeah sorry, that was directed towards you. Are you sure it needs to be refretted, it could just need a levelling & dressing. I'd say bring it to a good tech to get it checked out.

    Jeez, that sounds like a dogs dinner! If you're in Dublin give Derrick Nelson a call, he'll be able to sort it out. His number is in the resources sticky on the forum.
