Nice. It works, looks OK. Job done.

Pretty much my theory. The cost is negligible for something that has limited function. One day I might do something a little less bogan, but in the mean time, it saves me some cash for the more pressing issues.Originally Posted by Simon Barden
New Gotoh machine heads arrived today. As did the new frets.. which are about .01mm narrower.. just enough look dicky, but I'll probably just use it for now anyway given I only need one.
I've put the machine heads on. Frets will wait until I've got something that can pull the bad one out and some gear to get the replacement done and frets leveled and dressed.
Quick update:
I pulled the dodgy first fret off and replaced it. Seems to be about .01mm narrower. Just enough to stand out lol.
Anyway, it's on. The edges are slightly beveled. I only received some low tack tape yesterday so I've taped the board up. Just waiting on my fret leveler to arrive so I can have a crack at getting it flat then moving on to filing and crowning.
Amusingly enough, I took the original fret and worked on it with a crown file and managed to get it looking half decent minus the cuts in it.
