Just got my Number 1 Stratocaster back from ace repair guy Ged Green. He's installed massive 6100 stainless steel frets and done an utterly superb job. Thing feels like I'm bending strings across a sheet of polished glass, really nice setup and first-class fretwork. £180 was a bargain, it's playing better than ever and it won't need a fret dress for a very, very long time now.

It's perfect for me, like having 22 railway sleepers made of polished ice. Thoroughly recommended.

Speaking of dressing frets. Come do mine. I'll pay you with beer and MKII glorious tones.
