fret pull
Six years of heavy daily playing has this guy back in the shop for new frets. I love how well this guitar has held up over the years, especially with how heavily Andy Mowatt gigs. Below you can see it's little brother Mousa 003 on the bench just before the neck was glued to the body.
Videos from the daily vlog of pulling the old frets and then leveling, crowning and fret end dressing of the new ones.
It's been a mini run of early vintage Gibson archtops in the shop lately, and by a run I mean two (see the 1957 Gibson ES-175). This L-7 is in for new frets, new tuners and a K&K acoustic pickup.
You can really see Gibson's early banjo styling carried over in the headstock and fingerboard inlays.
Below is a quick video breaking down the guitar and pulling the frets.
Stripping down and pulling frets from the daily vlog.
Heavy fret wear on a Martin that is well past leveling. I'll pull these frets and prep the board for new frets.
