I had a client drop off this @gibsonguitar Randy Rhoads Les Paul Custom for some work, and now I am going to give it a refret. This refret is a bit different in that I am keeping the nibs. This means there there was a LOT of filing and measuring for all 22 frets to ensure a perfect fit for each fret.
Jobs like this typically take at least 3 times longer to complete, but they're not impossible.
The process is otherwise very typical.
There is still a lot of work left to go on this guitar, but the progress is being made!
