The first 4 frets had some pretty deep furrows, and action could not be adjusted acceptably. I was toying with the idea of a partial refret when I thought about using solder to fill the furrows before doing a minor redressing and crowning job. Anyway, I tried it and it seems to work. Frets are level, action is now fully adjusted and the guitar now plays like a dream. I do ...

Yeah, right, That was what, 27 years ago? and I never returned to the shop (excited as I was with my new purchase.) So now, all these years later, I'm actually doing something about setting it up because, you know how it is; I thought it was about time.
