So were the frets on my L-03 WL. I expect that from a guitar fresh from the factory. Mine wasn't too bad but it didn't hurt to take it to my local luthier for a set up, smooth out the frets and shave the bracing a little to bring out a fuller sound. I've done the same with my other guitars over the years.

I mean, the L03WL only cost 900 bucks.
If it sounds good, it is good.


I was just wondering if anyone has filed or sanded the frets them self. i have refinished guitars and done many repairs but i have never had to do a sand job of frets. has any done this and how did they do it. any help will be appreciated. the guitar is new.

Uncle rob is a great encyclopedia of guitar servicing knowledges.

But I just thought I mention that make sure your guitar is humidified.  Dryness can cause your frets' edges to stick out.  Cheers.
