Sometimes a factory built guitar needs a refret on day one!
Gibson allowed this or if the door with frets too short to reach the binding nibs.

The client came in thinking he needed a refret. I suggested we try a level crown and polish first.
I think there might be a few more years life in these now!

Gibson 335 "f hole" repair
Far from invisible, but it looks like a guitar again instead of a cyber punk project!
Very happy client

Asymmetric custom nut.
Client request as they have large fingers.
The string path through the nut is to avoid fouling the adjacent tuning machine on this very narrow headstock.

Fret leveling.
In particular, creating a fall off at the top of the fretboard, allowing for a lower action and cleaner sound at the high frets.

Patches under finish. Now cutting for 2 weeks before polishing.

Deep in a delicate repair.
A 1971 Gibson 335, sunburst finish.
Testing is done, the patches are stained and the finish testing has worked. Just fitting some cleats to support the patches before committing them to permanent 😬
