This is a Fender Eric Clapton Strat built in 1990 that I bought myself for my 30th birthday as it was the same age.
I played it a bit and this happened. Not sure if it was already damaged and I made it worse or if the old strings caused the damage. There was no noticable damage when I bought it.
Is this type of thing possible to fix? Or will it need a new neck?
Thank you! (First post on Lemmy!)
I feel it’s worth clarifying that you cannot file one fret like this. You will need to lower all the frets in unison hence the sharpie. I figure you probably meant that I just wanted to clarify before somebody files down a single fret and wonders why they can’t produce the correct note in that position anymore.
