Hi Anders, If you have the time and are willing to explain,I really want to learn. I have already change the frets twice on this guitar; first time I screw it because I filed to much and really did fail to do the crowning well. Second time it was ok but when taking the frets out, there were small pieces of the fingerboard that were also removed. When filing the frets at the edges, it was dificult to do it without snatch away small fragments of varnish. So, I have a guitar that plays well but, with a closer look one can see closer to the frets, small fragments of ebony are missing (only in a few frets) , the tips of the frets are not filed properly and the varnish crack in 2 or 3 spots near the frets....what a mess![:@] I have found a shop in Lisbon that do repairs on guitars. If this is going to cost to much, I am willing to try it myself. Regards Antonio
