Enough talking about it. Enough thinking about it. It’s time to actually do something.
I have two 40+ year old guitars that need to be taken to a luthier for a consultation and possibly some scary repair work. I’ve been thinking about it for years. I’ve been talking about it for almost as long as I’ve been thinking about it. The work that needs to be done is terrifying. Assuming of course that the two guitars actually need the work that I think they need.
I am going to try and schedule something for this weekend. Failing that, next weekend. It is time to stop thinking about it and actually do something about it.
I am scared for my two babies.
My 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom that I bought in 1990… does it need new frets?
My 1979 Gibson ES-335 Pro that I bought in 2000… does it need frets along with a wiring harness?
Like I said, I am scared for my two babies.

@robertjames1971.blog Refrets aren't scary: player guitars often get refretted a few times. A luthier can quickly tell you if a full refret is needed or if a level and dressing is all you need.Full refrets are a bit labor intensive, and may cost a little more on bound necks. Before committing, decide what you want your new frets to be! Medium jumbo, narrow, stainless steel, etc. Like all things guitar, there are a zillion options.
