Crisp sound from your guitar

Re-frettting and Fret leveling are considered upgrades Haywire Custom Guitars specializes in restoring play-ability through both fret leveling (re-crowning) and full re-frets. While leveling corrects minor buzz and unevenness, a re-fret is necessary when frets are too worn or "ruts" exist, costing $12-$15 per fret, ensuring proper intonation, and maintaining the instrument's longevity, particularly for worn-out, unplayable guitars.Re-fretting and fret leveling at Haywire Custom Guitars Purpose: Replaces worn-out or damaged frets with new, high-quality fret wire. Process: Removes old frets, treats the fret board, and installs new wire for a "like-new" feel. When to Use: When frets are worn too low, have deep ruts, or are too damaged to be leveled. Cost: $12 per fret for standard, $15 per fret for bound fret boards. Haywire Custom Guitars +4 Key Considerations Action: Both services aim to allow for lower string action without buzz. Approach: Haywire prefers less invasive methods first (leveling) to preserve original fret wire. Diagnosis: If strings buzz and have poor sustain due to ruts, a re-fret is usually necessary.
