Epiphone John Lennon Signature Partial Re-fret - Episode One

This is an beautiful example of an Epiphone John Lennon signature model that has only been a guitar for about 10 years. It has been played extensively by its owner, and because of his use of a capo, the frets have worn down very quickly. Frets 1 - 8 have deep grooves in them, far too deep to level and re-crown. Contributing to the problem, the fret wire used by Epiphone likely isn't the highest of quality. The Jescar wire we replace it with will last twice as long. So, we'll replace the first eight and then level them into the remaining frets.
