We occasionally steal ideas from dentists. We were asked to install a USB charging battery for a Fishman Fluence equipped guitar, and it could just barely fit in there. The placement on the backplate had to be EXACT - so we used some articulating paper to mark out the control cavity route on the plate, so we would know exactly where to drill. Perfect fit!

This great looking Fender Custom Shop Strat has come all the way from Tasmania to begin its refret journey here in sunny (mostly) Port Macquarie. It’s getting some Stainless Steel frets and a 10” radius. #guitarrepair #guitarrepairs #getplekd #guitarrepairshop #luthierlife #refretting #stainlesssteelfrets #luthiersofinstagram #refret #jescarfrets #fender #fenderguitars #fenderstratocaster #fendercustomshop

A Fender American Deluxe Tele neck with compound radius and freshly refretted with Stainless Steel frets, ready for finishing. This is the one I showed the other day using the Fractal Fret Press. No rotisserie chickens were harmed in the process of this job. 🍗 #guitarrepairs #guitarrepairshop #guitarrepair #getplekd #telecaster #telecasters #jedwardsguitars #refretting #stainlesssteelfrets #refret #fractalfretpress #luthiersofinstagram #luthierlife

And they’re all in. Freshly pressed in compound radius Stainless Steel frets with the Fractal Fret Press from J Edwards Guitars. Yeah, yeah. I don’t care if you use a hammer or regular fret cauls, or even a rotisserie chicken for that matter. 🍗 If it works for you, that’s the most important thing. Buak buak! #telecasters #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #guitarrepairs #telecaster #refret #refretting #getplekd #stainlesssteelfrets #jedwardsguitars #fractalfretpress

The goal of having my own guitar company, Mestric Guitars, is to make guitars that tick all the boxes for what I like aesthetically and functionality wise. And to incorporate a tonne of things I’ve learnt over the many years working on countless guitars of all vintages. The heavily aged look is my vibe and what I enjoy looking at and playing. To me it’s a feel thing as much as a style. Obviously this is not everyone’s cup of tea. Thankfully there’s plenty of other guitars out there for people to buy. 😉 These guitars will be made available as they are ready in batches of 4. That’s the plan at the moment. The first batch should be ready by the end of March given my current workload at the workshop. I’m working on these during my “spare time” as opposed to normal working hours. Spare time is a funny concept! 🤣 Just know if you’re waiting on a refret that these aren’t getting in the way. 👍 If you are interested in knowing more about these, please private message me here and I’ll be happy to give you a more detailed run down.
