Yeah, I was afraid to tackle the the re-fret myself. At the very least there were some costly tools I needed to attempt it, and the price break from someone highly recommended was too hard to resist. So there's another lesson I've often learned and re-learned... if you understand a process, buying the TOOLS is always a better investment then paying someone to do it. Teach man to fish, right? I understand leveling and crowning, wiring and electronics, and re-fretting is the only major skill I've not acquired. An opportunity missed in this case.
