A worthwhile upgrade!
Curt R 25.07.2020
I'd looked at the idea of getting stainless steel frets for a while, having never played a guitar with them in. I'd also bought a few Harley Bentons in the past.

Harley Bentons always have issues with the fretwork, so I normally get them fret dressed by my local luthier. For a change, I decided to buy the Harley Benton CST-24T P90 and add the Stainless Steel re-fret/Plek to my basket.

Even with everything going on at the moment, the wait time was only just under a month, which I am very happy about.

The work looks to have been done very well. I believe they've also conditioned the fretboard, as the Harley Bentons are usually very dry, but this one is great.

It's turned a Harley Benton into a completely different guitar playing experience that could compete with any guitar at least twice it's value.

Would highly recommend getting a Plek service, and especially with a stainless steel re-fret.

The only thing to note is that the guitar tech sets the guitar up with a considerable forward bow, which will need adjusting when you receive the guitar. This is possible for transit reasons.

Update: 1 start removed, as they no longer offer this service on new guitars.

Fantastic service, despite a few hiccups
Michael9841 02.02.2020
I managed to drop off two guitars to be refretted, including Plek service, just as flu season struck the workshop. The end result is that it took about 4 weeks for me to get my guitars back. My bad luck.

The good news - they were done perfectly, set up nicely, and play perfectly. They also were packed very well. The shop also did a good job of communicating with me once people were back from sick leave.

Perfect service for a vintage Gibson
MrMoj 04.10.2022
I sent my 70s Gibson Les Paul there, because it needed a new nut and also bc I wanted to try the plekking service for ages. All in all, not disappointed! It is a bit pricey, but everything now fits perfectly, from intonation to action to fret height, and the new nut is fitted in perfectly. Really nice and accurate work from the Thomann team!

AMAZING !!!
Bluegraskid 03.03.2023
This is the best re-fretting service you can find, they re-fretted my Gretsch country gentleman and now is better than new, well polished rounded frets with perfect intonation , superb job... it took in total of 4 weeks since I've sent my guitar till I had it back to Spain, so is truly not that long and well worth it ,, go for it without a doubt, your guitar will be an incredible instrument afterwards. THANKS

Great work on my stratocaster

First contact with Support in English. Communication could be clearer at times, to ensure the customer understands the process in one email but it's all good.

After Thomann received my guitar, a guitar tech quickly got in touch to ask about fretwire size, string brand, and nut material. A week later my guitar's back ⚡️

The frets are perfect, the nut as well. My fretboard was also touched up/flattened.

I think they also touched up more things that I didn't request:
- I'm pretty sure they buffed the lacquer of the back of the neck, because I had a spot of lacquer that used to stick out since the day I bought my guitar and it's gone ✅
- They changed my saddles. I had bought new ones recently and they were slightly narrower than the original ones. That didn't bother me. Nonetheless, my guitar came back with wider saddles, closer if not identical to the ones I had when I bought my guitar ✅

That's really nice to see service like this, when it goes beyond "here are new frets, because that's what you paid for, nothing more.", especially at this speed of execution. Great job!
