Custom HSH S-Style | Refret and Bone Nut

Here's a custom HSH S-style build featuring two Ibanez humbuckers and a single-coil; plus genuine Fender hardware. After years of heavy use it needs a full refret, new nut; and setup. As per the owner's request, I've installed Dunlop Accu-Fret 6000 fretwire and a bone nut; and refinished the maple fretboard in Tru-Oil. Now, while I actually completed this job in 2019, I'm only blogging about it now as I misplaced the majority of the pics I took; and the ones you see here are all I could find. A thousand apologies, folks.

Yamaha SLG110S Silent Guitar | Part Two

◀ Part One

Full Refret

This entry is the second of two on the Yamaha SLG110S Silent Guitar. To read the previous entry (Overview), please click HERE. Now, the original frets on this guitar were so worn that there wasn't enough height left for a level and dress. That being the case, I refretted the entire fretboard with StewMac #149 fretwire. The images below outline the basic steps I took in re-fretting this Yamaha SLG110S Silent Guitar.
