Quite some time ago I started getting lots of fret buzz on my epiphone LP standard and it wasn't just the kind that doesn't get through the amp. On some frets, the notes would die as I bent the string and some frets were just dead. I noticed the problem was getting worse and took it to Barry Ewart in Vancouver. I just want to give everyone a heads up that if something needs to be done to your guitar he's an absolutely great tech. I've read good things about him elsewhere too and my guitar teacher recommended him to me.
Anyway, he told me I needed a fret dress but I also asked him to change the nut to a bone nut and the pots for better ones. I had already changed the pickups some time ago. When I got the gutiar back I could definitely hear a difference acoustically and when played through an amp. What impressed me the most was that the fret buzz was completely gone.
This guy also makes custom guitars too so if any of you plan on getting that axe you've been dreaming up actually built, I'd imagine he'd do a fine job on that too.
