The owner of this guitar was complaining about fret buzz and dead strings, especially above the 12th fret. On inspection I found some really high frets, the 23rd was notable and it looked like they had somehow worked their way out of the fret board. I reseated the high frets and glued them in to try to prevent it happening again, then I levelled and dress the frets.
I also discovered that when the guitar had been fitted with a new nut it had been shimmed with paper. The owner didn’t want a new nut so I cleaned the old one up and shimmed it with some ebony.
