    Crowned, leveled and polished

    Just had the frets on my Iceman crowned, leveled and polished. The guy that did the repair did a bit of tweaking to the nut and evened out the the saddles. I don't think it has ever played this nicely. Super happy with the work that was done, to top it off, it was $105, that include a new set of strings and just a little over a week to get it back.

    Next step will be to install the Liberator in it after I get a reamer and install the Black Winter with a black chrome cover installed in the neck when it arrives.

    105$ is a great price for that work! It never fails to amaze me how awesome a guitar can play when it's perfectly dialed in.

        That is a super good buddy price on the work. The luthier should raise his prices.

            That's a good price for the fret work alone, especially if he's as good as you say. With the nut and bridge work he could have charged double what he did.
