This is a lovely guitar, rich tones and a hand carved headstock - but it's cursed! I have never struggled as much to remove the frets from a guitar. I did everything I know - heated them, scored the edges with a blade - but the still splintered the fingerboard. They were well glued in, and it looked like they had been crimped before insertion.
The crimping made sense when I came to fit new frets, none of my stock had wide enough tangs. I don't posses a crimper, but luckily North West Guitars give measurements for their replacement frets, and they stocked a wider than standard one! I didn't video the enjoyable hour I spent after refretting filling in the small gaps left in the fingerboard that you can see on the video. Still love the guitar though.
