How much for a fret level and polish?

[guitarplayer]

A local shop quoted me $100 to level and polish the frets and set up my Charvel 475 deluxe. Does this seem like a fair price as I have never had this done before?

[Cygnus X1]

A bit high for me. I charge 75.00, including strings.

[nateb]

100 in California Bay Area.

[destructin_od]

60 bucks over here in Turkey. And if something is cheaper in here you are on the wrong way.

[guitarplayer]

It has a floyd if that makes a difference.

[AdRock]

A full setup with polish and level ran me $58 bucks last time I had it done.

[nhspike]

about 20 minutes
no crowning, just a gentle file/polish

just did one, and set my egg-timer

[Rich#6]

$58 with floyd where I go but christmas season special I just paid $45.

[guitarplayer]

If it includes a crowing does that make the price a little better? I'll have to ask him to be sure.

[Axewielder]

Dang these are some cheap prices, the last two I had done were well over $100, and that was from two different shops.

[shredmonster]

Here in Minneapolis I have not been able to find cheaper than $125 with crowning.

[ezbprimerib]

Seems a little high. $100? They must some really expensive polish.

[hippietim]

$100 is not unreasonable for a good job.

[Norton]

Fret-changes cost about 100 dollars here.


Something rare,which costs cheaper here than in the US

I charged $75 back in the late 90's so $100 seems more than fair these days for a reputable professional. Ask to see some of their work as there are a lot of hacks who try to do this stuff to pocket a few extra bucks instead farming it out to someone qualified to do the work.
