andybassdoyle Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hello all, Can anyone suggest someone in the Norwich/Norfolk area who can assist with a fret lifting slightly from the fingerboard? Many thanks, Abd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary mac Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Unless you are hideously heavy handed, it might be worth attempting to tap it back it in. A small hammer, something to protect the area and a softly softly approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Yes, this. I recently got a Squier Tele (Affinity, the cheapest) which turned out to have loads of lifted frets. I've tapped them down gently with a hammer and some softish wood to protect the fret (strings off) and using a hammer and acetate handled screwdriver for some spot fixes just sliding the strings aside.
