<p>If the customer REALLY wants it.</p>
<p>Let him mail the guitar to them and wash your hands of it, but give him your opinion first.</p>
<p>This will be to your advantage when he comes back with his humble on.</p>

<p>If it's a vintage or rare instrument, please try to talk him out of it!</p>

<p>Oh good grief - the idea of running a bunch of quartz crystals through a PLEK is giving me a giggle fit. I"m not sure if it would be the dust or the shattering that would be more amusing. And I'm not sure what would shatter first - the overheated bits or the frets.</p>
<p>And those are bar frets - EGAD, can you imagine the effort to get the installation right? Come to think of it, that might actually be the best ever application of a double-action truss rod.</p>

<p>So, is there…</p>

<p>So, is there anybody wondering if it's possible to hear any difference between any kind of properly installed and fitted fret in a double-blind test?</p>
