Guitar Fretboard Repair

Is your guitar fretboard cracked, chipped, or worn?

Fretboard damage doesn’t just affect how your guitar looks — it can seriously impact tone, tuning stability, and playability.

At Snowpeace Guitars, each fretboard repair is approached with precision craftsmanship, whether it’s a minor inlay repair or a full fretboard restoration.

Refretting

Refretting involves removing worn frets and installing new ones to restore accuracy, tone, and playability. It is essential when frets become too low or uneven to be properly dressed.

Fretboard Replacement

In severe cases where the fretboard is beyond repair, a full replacement may be required. This process ensures structural integrity while preserving the character of the instrument.

Inlay Restoration

Loose, damaged, or missing inlays are carefully repaired or recreated using matching materials, ensuring a seamless look and maintaining the original aesthetic.

Fret Leveling

Fret leveling corrects uneven frets by precisely leveling, crowning, and polishing them. This improves playability and eliminates buzzing without the need for a full refret.

Structural Reinforcement

For cracked or weakened fretboards, structural reinforcement stabilises the wood and prevents further damage, ensuring long-term reliability.
