A day later, and things look pretty okay!
I've got it strung up with a lightweight set of 10-27, just to see whether the D and G tuners budge. If all goes well, I'll slap on a set of 12-53 in a couple days and see how it goes. |

Alrighty; we're all strung up at full tension. This sucker is LOUD.
We'll call it a success story. And the 'verb came through with about a 60% refund, so if the price was right before, it's even righter now. To sum up? This kind of break is well worth fixing, and relatively easy to do, provided the aluminum inside is undamaged. |

With access to a CNC milling machine, it would be relatively simple to mill grooves for new pressed in frets. Worth it or not depends on the relative value of your time vs how you value the guitar.

You wouldn't necessarily need a milling machine. File or sand the frets flat and use the old fret "slots" as a template for sawing new grooves. You would have to find a fret saw intended for -- or tough enough -- aluminum instead of ebony. And you might only need to re-do the first few frets depending on the wear pattern.
