The Works
Rate: $130-150
"The Works" includes a complete fret dress and leveling, fret polish, complete setup including truss rod adjustment, string height / action and intonation. This work will minimize fret buzz, eliminate fret dents and pitting, and improve the overall tone and play-ability of the instrument.
