I have a 1975 Tele neck that is in bad need for a refret. Can anyone recommend someone That specializes in such matters and who has seen their work firsthand. I know it's not a 50's Tele but its all i have and the guitar is near mint with original everything. I am in NY but have no problem shipping the neck
Thanks for any help

I've used Rob DiStefano (www.frettech.com) in Park Ridge NJ, just outside the City.
He does amazingly good fretwork on both newer and vintage instruments.
He did some fret work for Jonathan Wilson when GVCG was in NYC.

The guitar specialist in Westchester NY is very good but not cheap... http://www.guitarspecialist.com/

I have heard the Evan Gluck is very good but have not used him yet.
