Fretwork
All fretwork at Stahman Guitars is performed using the Dan Erlewine Neck Jig. This tool simulates string tension while the work is being performed. Necks change a lot under string tension, and the Neck Jig eliminates any guess-work.
Fret level, crown, and polish (includes setup) $180.00
Complete Re-fret (includes new nut and setup) $375.00
Neck w/ binding add $50.00 Stainless steel or EVO re-fret add $50.00 Pre-1984 Fender add $50.00 Maple fretboards can incur higher costs, as they often require refinishing the fretboard. I contract finish work out to Joe Parker Guitars- the best in the area!

Brace Reglue Starts at $60.00. This is a job that varies a lot. I can give a more accurate estimate in person.
Crack Repair Generally starts at $60.00.
Broken Headstock Starts at $75.00. I don't have a standard rate, as this is never a standard job.
Neck reset $500 Standard Dovetail Notes: Re-fret is frequently also necessary. Non-standard neck joints may incur higher labor costs. Bolt-on necks will incur less labor than normal. Necks installed before the finish process may require extra work (higher final bill). Neck resets do not include any finish touch up work. Finish is contracted out and billed upon completion.
Finish Work
I don't offer finish work at this time. I happily recommend Joe Parker Guitars for any refinishing, finish repair, etc. He's the best in the area, no question about it!
