    ok, so its not the frets, but the fretboard. What's up with it?

    Look at the first and second photo. I don’t know if it like that from the factory or someone tried to remove something and took out some edges. I tend to think this is from the factory because it is minimal....

    I need a second "pair of the eyes" as we say here 🙂

    I'm sure you don't really mean you need to remove the frets to level them.

    Looks like they been levelled but not crowned. Perhaps there isn't enough fret remaining to crown? I have a 80's guitar with the same issue. 

    Obviously if you had a re-fret you would lose your nibs. That might be a concern.

    I am about imperfections of the fretboard/fingerboard itself. Frets will be crowned in next week or so

    I think the offset centres are fine. Nice looking guitar from what I can see. Ebony FB by the looks of it.

    What's the other problem? Looks like some frets need crowning.

    Fretboard needs levelling. You can see it on the first and second photo, but to do that I need to remove frets and I don’t won’t to as current frets still have some “meat”. 

  4. Hello.

    Is it common to have inlay not perfectly centered between frets for old instruments? I have an LP custom historic collection 1993 with block inlays  not centered between frets.

    Other issue is fretboard itself.

     

    Never noticed that before.

    Thank you
