Since there's no way I paid for this guitar that I know of, I am tempted to try filing as I already have one of those flat pieces of metal with a groove in it for the fret. But I feel a bit overwhelmed with the prospect of screwing shit up.
If it were a Yamaha SG2000, I would have no qualms with plopping down $300 or $400, but those were classics. Ibanez artists series were quality, but nothing like the Yamahas of the day.
Maybe I'll find somebody to give me a sympathy fret job. For $150.
