Hey all,
My Gibson F9 is in need of a refret at least to the 7th fret. I'm looking to get this done quickly and locally as I use this mandolin for gigs and have a bunch lined up which I need my Gibson for. Fortunately, I have about a 2 week window before the next gig I have that requires the Gibson - so I'm trying to get this done now asap.
I have a quote for $450 with a 7 to 10 day turnaround for a full refret. I'm not entirely sure it needs a full refret, but I'm not familiar enough with this aspect of repair to really know.
The price seems high to me. I think it should be closer to $300 max, but I don't really know too much here.
Any advise? I'm in San Diego if that helps.
Thanks
Bruno
