How do I repair this shoddy fretwork?

[orpheo]

I don't trust any brand anymore. There was an uptick in asian quality a decade ago, but it seems to have gone down, and dragged Indonesia and Korea with it.

Over the past few years I have bought and returned several guitars for neck alignment issues. I've been looking all over Sweetwater and see that neck alignment problems are common. Look through any of the asian guitars < 1500 and many of them are misaligned. And if they are neck through, nothing you can do about it.

Does anyone make a Floyd with moveable knife inserts?

Schaller does too. But I'd rather go with an OFR and replace the entire unit in 40 years than deal with Schaller at this point.

The real problem is those dumb a** fret markers. Sand off those stupid ugly shark fins and all the other problems will self-correct.

They were 80's cool, but any more they are LAME AF. Dots or nothing, thank you.

while i like my dots, i think thats crap. if you have a shred stick, and are going for flashy weedly weedly, then rock them sharkfins. not my thing, but i dont have any issue with it
