I took my Carvin guitar to Richard Fry at Austin Instrument Repair for fret work. I was quoted $200 to mill frets 16 and up, in addition to setting up the Floyd Rose tremolo. Richard said the guitar will be ready on 3/17/2011. The guitar was ready as promised. I noticed something weird on my neck and pointed this out to Richard. He acted like he did not know what I was talking about. At the time, I could not tell if what I was seeing was damage or due to the sticky residue that was left all over my guitar.
