mbarn	Re: Fret dressing I bought a Les Paul a couple years ago and it had a little fret buzz. I took it back to the store where I bought it and they said they would do a setup for me for just the price of a set of strings. So I said cool go ahead. I started looking around the store, when I looked back where he was working on my guitar I about crapped! This clown had a big bastard file and he was fileing across the fret board like crazy! I said hey man what the hell are you doing, he said, I'm doing a fret job! I told him I wanted so frets left and he said don't worry it will be fine. Well to my suprise the guitar played pretty good when he was done. I guess some things you shouldn't see being done. I would never try to do a fret job myself.
