I'd say you are doing the right thing!]]> Guitar Players Discussion Bish https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-good-old-friend/#post-306033 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-good-old-friend/#post-306028 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:49:51 +0000
I'm one that likes the weathered look, never did like shiny pretty guitars..for some reason they don't scream rock n roll to me, but a guitar that looks like it's been through the wars now that's a guitar.

Unless it really is unplayable or uncomfortable to play I'd leave it as is.]]> Guitar Players Discussion cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-good-old-friend/#post-306028 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-good-old-friend/#post-306027 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:41:42 +0000
You can really tell that your guitar is well-loved! She's really pleasing to the eye too.

I know a guy who plays for a band called the "Almost Brothers," whose Tele's frets look just like those on your acoustic. He doesn't have any problems though. It's amazing to me that those kind of pits don't cause issues sometimes.

Yep, you just can't abandon faithful old friends like that.]]> Guitar Players Discussion XylemBassGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-good-old-friend/#post-306027 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-good-old-friend/#post-305932 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:16:14 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion lars https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-good-old-friend/#post-305932 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-good-old-friend/#post-305915 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 04:11:33 +0000
To be honest, if you didn't notice the fret wear until you cleaned the fretboard and didn't notice any problems playing it, I don't see any reason to do any thing about it until it becomes a problem. Then maybe a releveling job will fix it. If not, then a refret on just the ones that are worn shouldn't be too expensive.

Cool guitar and it has history! :) I'd do it!]]> Guitar Players Discussion racetruck1 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-good-old-friend/#post-305915 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/a-good-old-friend/#post-305910 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:18:22 +0000
