Replacing frets on CA OX - how difficult?
I have an original CA OX. It's the only CA guitar I have left out of a large bunch that I had. I absolutely love the tone.
However, I prefer my guitars with jumbo/taller frets on all my guitars. My customs all have that and I just find it easier to feel/play. So.....because I really like this particular instrument, it is good enough of a guitar that I'm thinking of replacing the frets. Questions: 1. Is there anything unusual about how the original CA put their frets in that a luthier would need to know? 2. Generally what would a fret job cost? 3. For good measure, would replacing the nut and saddle with a bone nut/saddle make any difference? Thanks in advance to you pros for any help.... |

I cannot speak to CA, but I know that Rainsong says that re-fretting their guitars requires nothing unusual. Maybe a call to Peavey / CA in MS is in order?
There is a local stocking dealer with a trusted repairman, but he is out on vacation for the next week. |
