Can the frets be leveled and dressed, and or replaced in a similar manner to a wooden guitar?

Our guitars have stainless frets, so it will they will take a lot more playing than a typical nickel silver fretted guitar before fret work is necessary. You can level and re-crown frets similarly to a regular guitar – it takes a bit more work to polish the frets out after leveling and crowing due to the use of stainless. As for re-fretting, our frets are pressed in, so they can be removed and replaced by a qualified guitar tech. We recommend placing a drop of super glue remover at the end of each fret and allowing it to sit a few minutes, then using the fret puller to get lift under both ends of each fret prior to removing the fret. this is because we seal off the fret ends with super glue.
