Soz it butt in...
Anyone recommend someone in the midlands?
 
got a 7.25 radius strat that needs a refret  
 it’s a maple neck with like an inch of poly on so not risking it myself :0

Jamie Davey ftw. I've had good work done by Jaydee also.

Cheers guv, Jaydee or bob Barry were my initial thought (not sure if bob has retired?)

John at Noiseworks, Coventry.

He refretted two 'problem' guitars for me - one that had unique artwork on the fingerboard that I'd taken to a few places previously to be told that it couldn't be done without damage/removal of the artwork. John managed it... and did a splendid job.

Another recommendation for John at Noiseworks here. Always top quality work.

We can definitely refret that .

As ICBM said the bevel at the edges is your problem .We would take care to not lose too much fret top real estate with bevelling.

Has now been refretted by @SteveRobinson at Manchester Guitar Tech and a bang tidy job he has done too! Got all my fret "real estate" back and it plays as it should again!

Stewmac #154 wire if anyone cares.
