Plus think of the accuracy needed to not get it everywhere. :roll:

If anyone has heard of Crona-tron welding products, they manufacture solder that you can melt with a lighter. Strong as anything I've used. :)

They are located near Charlotte, NC. Not only is solder too soft and difficult to flow onto many alloys, heating can loosen some frets.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fret-nick/#post-131610 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fret-nick/#post-131526 Mon, 10 Oct 2005 05:20:57 +0000

It might pay to take it to a tech who has a proper set of files and is less likely to go too far. Once the strings are removed, I doubt this is more than a 10 minute job for a tech.

The other option is to replace that one fret.

Good luck - Greg]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fret-nick/#post-131410 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fret-nick/#post-12339 Sun, 09 Oct 2005 16:37:38 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fret-nick/#post-12339
