Hi, would you reject a used car with new tyres?
Would you reject a hundred year old house with modern heating system?
I bought a 1934 Gibson L-4 ('35 "F" hole model) from a "Specialist" dealer in Seattle. They told me it had been very lightly used, but it arrived with the frets ground so low that they couldn't be profiled.
If they had told me the truth, I probably wouldn't have bought it, but couldn't return it as it had been shippied to me in the UK.
I had a luthier check out the original fret details and replaced as appropriate. Excellent work, guitar is still a '34 L-4 but happens to have great frets.
