Fret wire question

[pedal_board_geo]

Having a guitar re-fretted is like having new tires put on a car... it needs to be done at some point... find a good luthier in your area and chat with him about what you want. I tend to go with either a stewmac 154 or a dunlop 6100.

I like the Stewmac 149 wire on my balls. Its a little bigger than stock, but great all the same.

MusicMan will do a re-fret. But I am fairly certain they will only use the factory spec fretwire for the model in question. If you want something other than the stock fretwire you'll have to look elsewhere.

I could be wrong as I'm not a spokesperson for the company, but I've been hanging around here for a while.

Could someone from EBMM confirm this!? Id really really like to get some Dunlop 6000 fretwire installed in my JP6.

Try calling customer service direct, they may not see it here. That way they can tell you what can be done and quote you a price.

Is it possible for me to send my guitar back for a refret via the official distributor outside the US (Singapore)?

I would happily bear all shipping cost.

If we do a refret it will be the same wire as stock. If any of you want to do this call customer service and let's save some bandwidth

I'm not a spokesman either, but last night I did stay at a Holliday Inn Express

I'm still planing on sending you my EBMMEVH for some work. I'm still waiting for somebody I know who will be in the area where you are to drop it off. I don't trust UPS to send you my guitar.

Unless you have some packing tips that'll guarantee I won't end up with a broken guitar?

Use LOTS and LOTS of foam packing 'peanuts'.

Use LOTS and LOTS of foam packing 'peanuts'.

Definitely. I hear it's compulsory to use them....

Damn, I just sent my Morse in for fretwork. Completely forgot the compulsory peanuts. My bad

(At least the box was pretty crappy. So I've done something wrong.)

Thanks for all the info guys! Really happy to hear that EBMM will do refrets!
