If the guy is good than it's probably OK. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I think it's worth doing a fret polishing for 20$, if you have any buzz issues. What he will do is take a small layer from the frets in order to make them more even. This process can be repeated 5-10 times (depending on the frets) before you have to do a complete refret job. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm glad i made the right decision cause i was standing there in his place and i just couldn't tell if his just trying to make some more money or is it really a good recommendation You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If they need polishing then get hem done, if your Guitar doesn't sound right and is buzzing it'll put you off your Practice! If it's all Set-up properly and playing properly then your Practice will be far more efficient and effective!!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
