Never used élixir strings. It's kill your frets, because the string are too strong and your frets too smooth. Better to change your cords more often than doing this.
1972 Maple fretboard strat. Was in a fire. The black fret dots swelled and mostly popped out. Using some epoxy and lamp black I filled the dots to just barely overfull. Then sanded down to even with the fret board. Still playing it today. Dots still perfect.
Excellent video. Such an important question when choosing a top of the line investment. I bet your guitars rock, thanks for your thoughts on choosing between the 2.
@@Antonio-re9dq I am the owner! Wtf man, look at the guitar. Headstock broken twice, neck refin, body is relic, tuners and pickup changed…who fuckin cares about some already worn plastic nibs? Are you the guy who PLAYS a guitar or the one who just look at it in its case?
you just cant retain the nib if you are replacing worn fret, because the new frets will sit higher then the nib at the edge and any attempt to slope the new frets to the old nibs will make it easy for the string to slip off the edge. good choice there. replacing the whole neck binding to get new nibs are an expansive option too.
@onga84 Man, that was an intelligent yet hysterical example! I'm laughing my day away with your comment, as I visualize Zakk and Hetfield in prison for EMGs in their Les Pauls. That should be a mini comedy series! 😂😂😂😂🤣
You just need to now the original frets dimension and if you don't have this information you can always reach out to the manufacturer and ask this information. That being said you can find frets of any shape, material, hight and widht.
The bridge works fair enough. It won't be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking abuot any upgrade to do on these guitars. Anyway if you are still thinking about replacing the bridge, be sure to check the compatibilty. There are many subtle differences from bridge to bridge
