LP re-fret day

[Shiny_Surface]

Got my beater LP Custom back today with a jumbo stainless steel re-fret and new bone nut. Plays like glass...

I say "beater" because the only thing left that is Gibson on this guitar is pretty much the wood and some bits of wire and some of the pots.

It's a players guitar through and through with battle damage, resale value is of no concern with this one anymore.

Sounds and plays great though...nice not having to worry about babysitting it.

Looks like a keeper! How much different does the jumbo fretwire feel? I like jumbo fretwire too, and I guess I've just gotten used to the small stock frets on my Customs...

To be honest I grew up on jumbo fret wire with 80's superstrats so I just carried my preference over.

I thought there would be a bigger difference in my mind though...once I got my hands on it, it just seemed a little bigger. The feel of the stainless is great though, very smooth.

I got a les Paul custom at philtone right now.

Getting ready to ship back to me on Monday.

Love his work

Hate his wait times

But I do feel that he is worth it.

Nice, those frets will last forever!

I had Scott Bond install SS medium jumbo frets on my R8 last year - smooth as silk, forever!

 

[reverymike]

I use 6100 jumbo SS frets on my Les Paul too. They're GREAT.

My dream les Paul! A white custom with jumbo stainless frets and enough wear and tear that you don't have to worry about slinging it around. Congrats.
