REPAIRSTBDAll wounds are different, so no two will be treated the same. Bring your pride and joy down to Frantic Fret's triage ward – let "Dr." Al have a look and give you an idea on the cost, length of time, and the long-term prognosis. Some repairs, due to sustained damage, may not be possible. Fret dressings, nut or bridge replacements, bridge lifts, or ???, we will do our best to find a cure.

This sweet Ibanez 12 sat in an attic for 40 years. A "closet queen" gets new life at Frantic Frets. A miracle that the top and back never cracked and the bracing is perfect. Truss rod is free and functional. What do you do when the oxidized acetate truss rod cover crumbles like an old Charlie Chaplain film? You cut a new one from tortoise shell plastic, that's what!
