Hey Everyone,
I am new here and this is my first post.
I have an old Ibanez beginner electric that I used to play. I have decided to fix it up and get it into playable condition again. I have also been trying to learn how to do guitar set-ups myself as I am growing tired of sending my guitars into music shops and paying so much money just to have someone make minor adjustments. (So I am very inexperienced when it comes to guitar repair and set-ups).
I have noticed that from a few years of playing this guitar it has a few dents or very tiny flat spots on certain frets (mostly the frets nearest to the headstock). I have also noticed that when playing certain chords on these "flat spots" certain notes sound sharp or out of tune. I am not sure what exactly needs to be done to fix this problem. Do I need to have someone level all the frets, should I have it re-fretted or because the dents are so small will a good fret polish or clean-up help? If I need to get it re-fretted or have the frets levelled how much will this cost me?
Here is a pic of the neck. Hopefully you can see the fret wear (It is really tiny but I am sure it is making a difference in the sound).
