Hi,

I have a few question about changing frets on my guitar and was hoping someone has experience with that and could give me some advice.

Since a while i have the feeling that it's time to change them as some of the frets are really thin and flat now, but the main problems are the sharp corners. The frets are more quadratic shaped than round on the top .. very often i get stocked somewhere when doing slides ..

My questions are:
1. what does re-fretting cost? I have asked a luthier around the corner and he told me 235 € .. is a realistic price for that?

2. Can i do it on my own?

I consider more the option to do it on my own. I am normally not too untalented with stuff like this and i have two guitars were i should change the frets. The second one is unusable at the moment and i could use it to get my first experiences before touching my main guitar. The tools for that will cost me something as well, so i'm aware i will not really gain something, but i'm just interested in that.

Someone has done it before and could give me some advise .. or better, on which step i could run in problems?

Thanks !!
