Refretting a Samick

Orando Broom

Lads roughly what would it cost to refret an acoustic guitar?

It's a Samick, not a clue of the product number. It would have been bought for about IRP£250 in 1993/4 (so it would not have been too cheap).

The 3rd Fret is absolutely gicked, the B string actually sits ina groove. I assume if one fret is gone all need to be refretted.

it'd cost more than the guitar is worth unfortunately,i'd say approx €250

get a new bridge,set the action high and learn to play bottleneck on it

Punchdrunk is right, a whole re-fret job would probably cost more than a new guitar of similar quality. If it's just one fret and it's not too badly damaged then I think there's ways of repairing only that one, but it doesn't sound like this is the case!

No, there is an actual groove in the fret that the B string jams into. Don't ask me how it happened.
