Fretjob on old Gerundino

Hi all,

Finally I asked john van Gool, a luthier in Holland (Delft) to do a fret job on my 1967 Gerundino.
The frets where already very low, and also worn out at places.
Now there are new and higher frets on and it plays marvelous.

It was done till the 12th fret, higher gave too much risk in the repaired soundbord

The old frets where 0,7mm. The new ones slightly over 1mm.
Also the bridge was a little adapted.
