Who do you trust to dress frets and refret?

    My Tele is in need of some serious fret attention.

    If you could recommend someone in the west that would be good.

    Me, I trust Derrick Nelson to do it as he's done setup's on two of my basses before and I was extremely happy. The playability improved a hell of a lot.

    I don't know anyone in the west who does it unfortunately.

    I'd love to be able to do it myself... maybe i'll pick up a really cheap bass or guitar that needs work to hone my skillz on (read as "feck up bigtime").

    There is a guy in Limerick, John Conway, who does repairs along with being a guitar builder. His work is first rate, and he seems to be the guitar tech of choice for a lot of the pro-players in the south west. That said, Limerick isn't necessarily any closer than Dublin coming from Galway.

    Well Limerick is only about 1.5hrs from Galway. I drive up and back every wkend.

    Do you have the business details of John Conway? I have a dodgy fret on my guitar too...
