    fret end finishing

    The fret end finishing on my EBMM JP is really good. Anyone else have any comments on this?

    I have a lot of high end guitars that don't have this attention done to them. I'm surprised.

    Both of my EBMM's have great fret dressing. So do my Carvins. I must say, the guitar I built has excellent fret dressing as well.

    The worst of the bunch? My Les Paul. I should have refretted it myself.

    The fret ends on my Steve Morse are perfect ... really perfect.
    The guy who worked on them was a real pro.

    Congratulations to Him (or Her) !

    Thumbs up

    My JP6 and Y2D both have great fretwork. I made a point of telling this to the guy pressing frets into JP necks at the EBMM Open House last year... that we knuckleheads really appreciate the work. He seemed happy to hear that some of us 'end-users' actually noticed these details.

    I've never had my LP refretted, but the quote is astronomical because of the bound fretboard - I guess this makes a difference?
