I've a lovely wine red 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom 20th Anniversary. It's been with me since '82 and had been gigged pretty hard before me too. It's 10 pounds and perfectly balanced and I recently installed some hand-wired pickups, '57s from the Creamery, UK.
I had the frets dressed around 1988 I think and I remember the luthier saying, "Well, it's a fretless wonder indeed - there's not much left to deal with!"
I'm now thinking about a complete re-fret for it, though it doesn't have string grooves, the frets are very flat and low.
If you've re-fretted your Les Paul Custom (or standard):
- What frets did you use?
- How much did it cost you?
- What you would do differently with hindsite?
- If you are in England, to whom did you take it or who would you recommend?
Cheers for your thoughts.
