Shop around and see what you will pay.
Many customers just ship us their neck to be refretted to save on shipping.
If you have a guitar with a bolt on neck, this might be the answer for you.
This is a 1mm pick held up under the strings at the 12th fret...that's about 1/32". This is with a vintage 7 1/4 radius. This guitar plays every note clearly and will string bend without fretting out. This is not supposed to be possible. That is what
Fretboard Contouring can do!
"I paid $600 for a fretjob from this one guy, and had to have Big John redo it! The other guy used the wrong frets and it played horrible. The amazing thing is, Big John only charged $150 and it was perfect!" Tai C.

"Thanks Big John, I am still enjoying the last fret job you did. You do real pro work." Randy Knight

"This tele is amazing! It plays so easy and it almost will not buzz!" Jason
"People this guy is the real deal, no magical incantations and vintage gobble de gook, just hard work and unmatched results. I am tired of getting screwed around by the other guys. Big John is the only guy I go to now!" Wildman
