New frets or fret level?

It could be that a fret level is sufficient to last several more years before a full fret replacement is required. If your current frets still have sufficient height but are causing buzz, dead notes, or poor intonation due to uneven wear. It is a faster, much less invasive and less expensive ($65) way to restore play-ability, often making a guitar feel great and players happy. Is this a good way to solve the problem? Try it first and I think you'll appreciate your Luthier for that assessment. At Haywire Custom Guitars we perform a fret level, crown and polish on every guitar we build at no extra cost.
