When Are Your Frets Too Small to Dress Again

  • Some fraudsters take compromised TGP accounts take in the past few days. They have scammed members in the Emporiums by creating ads with stolen photos and requesting Paypal F&F or Venmo exclusively for payment.

    Nosotros take these issues seriously. We've made security changes that I don't want to detail here to stop them. However, the best style to foreclose this is for members to practice proper password hygiene (which I'll detail below), turn on two-gene authentication, and -- I implore every single person hither -- only apply payment methods that have buyer protection. Unfortunately, we cannot control how members do deals. It is heartbreaking to see that the lure of saving some money will however fool people into using those methods to salve a few dollars. In today'southward globe, that is imitation confidence you tin no longer beget.

    Every account that I've restored and so far to the original owner was using compromised passwords. Talking to one member as I am working through getting his account back in guild, he informed me that his Apple password managing director had been compromised and made available on the nighttime web.

    None of the accounts compromised were using two-factor authentication.

    We accept forced email revalidation for all members that have not signed on for a while. We highly recommend every member reading this modify their passwords as a precaution. Nosotros want to highly recommend that members turn on and apply TGP's two-gene authentication option.

    We have opened a discussion thread in the Pub department discussing this.We will include a very detailed password checklist.

I have a strat that I bought new in 2000, I guess it's a 99 or 2000. I gigged it heavily for shut to 10 years, playing 3-4 nights a week, often using it as the only guitar all dark unless I broke a string.

Anyway, a few years back I had it gone over by a actually great local tech and I know he leveled the frets.

I don't gig out anymore, just I discover I have pretty severe fret clothing on the top few frets and it could definitely use work as it buzzes more than than it used to.

Is in that location a limit to how ofttimes you can do this? Some of the grooves are pretty deep.

I don't want to throw the infant out with the bath water, but at the same time the guitar is probably worth plenty that it plus the fret job would get me a new strat.

Is it true though you lot can also supplant a fret here and at that place too?

The tech who did information technology is retired, so I can't ask him.

a luthier can give you more sound communication than anyone here who hasn't physicallt looked at your guitar.

Honestly, you might go away with replacing a fret or ii, maybe another leveling would exercise it, peradventure whole new frets, maybe just supercede the cervix [fender necks arent exactly rare]. A Luthier will be able to tell you lot which will be he best, nearly cost effective thing to do.

Equally a rule frets needs at least .030". If you lot fret a note and the string and your finger touch the fretboard the fret is also low.

How many times is a matter of how much fret is dressed off each fourth dimension. I exercise my guitars ofttimes to forbid notches from forming only I accept very lilliputian fret off each time, so I can dress the frets out many times. I did a dressing on a friends guitar and he had notches so deep that I don't think a second dressing will be possible.

My unscientific test is, I await for the deepest notch, fret a note there and meet if the string touches the board. If no, I'll dress it out, if yes, it needs a fret job.

it's all nigh the player.

i myself detest depression frets, and then when mine wore, i'd put upwards with it until they were also worn to sound right and so re-fret entirely. (i say "wore" because i finally put stainless on my gigging guitars then it's no longer an outcome.)

for players who squeeze difficult and don't curve much, you lot can level a lot, because lower frets are non such a problem.

If yous are violently aggressive with your fretting technique... perhaps 2 times, if y'all are modestly ambitious, 3 - four.. If you have a feather touch, you lot probably won;t vesture 'em at all....

Or... it all depends on you . .
