Fret job 

If the frets have deep groves or flat on top from playing, and are to worn out to do a fret dressing, the frets need to be replaced. and any size fret wire can be used so if you have medium wire now we can change it to extra jumbo or anything you want. only the best wire is used so they will last you a lot longer than the stock wire that came on the guitar.
