approximate cost of fret job
Depending on how many frets are replaced, it could run well over $100. Age doesn't necessarily make it valuable, so take it to a shop for an estimate of the value and the cost of repair. If it turns out that the guitar has little value beyond your sentimental attachment, there are some things you can do yourself.ince that will make the surrounding frets high, you have to file the surrounding frets too. They sell fret leveling files for this but I make a 6 - 10 sanding block with fine grit emery paper. Sanding/filing the frets will make them flat on top so you have to re-crown them.
