Howdy. Darth Brooks is on the crawl again these days but the guitar I have played for something like 12 years now is getting beyond crusty with corrosion all over the pickups, the freets getting mighty worn and the machine heads not being the most reliable as far as tuning.

The guitar though is really a sweet one and I am thinking of maybe getting it refretted and tuned up. First, any ideas on what a fret job would cost? Next, where's a reputable place in town to get this sort of thing done?

Mr. Sonny Black 595-1282. My post was much like yours about six months ago, and some live vic'er gave me his number. Does great work. Don't expect to spend 25$ to get all this done. You want quality, you pay for it. - Fri, 10 Sep 2004 2:58pm

Gordie's and Alloy are both quality. I've had no problems with either of them.

Alloy's way out in Colwood though, Gordie's is at Oak Bay Junction. - Sat, 11 Sep 2004 10:15am
