When I turned 15, Iīve got my first electric guitar, an Epiphone Les Paul and now Iīm 19 and a half, and playd on Epiphone since then.
But now my frets are almost gone on some places and Iīve been thinking about changing them (frets).

But The Big Problem is should I really change them our should I buy new guitar. I would really like to own an Ibanez RG-model and I can buy it, Iīve got money but thereīs somthing else. I had Ibanez for a few days and I simply couldnīt palm mute it at all like I do on my Epiphone. Epiphone really feels great to me but I would really like one Ibanez.

So can anyone tell me if I can change to an Ibanez from an Epiphone and be comfortable on it after few weeks. Last thing I wanna do is to go to the music shop and return it back after a month and get half of my money back. I really liked the Ibanez but what I didnīt like at all was my muting and muting is basicly the only reason why Iīm not a owner of an Ibanez. It just seemd like I didnīt get anywere after 4 days but how would it be after 4 weeks?

I Just had a similar problem with my Fender. I do a lot of bends when I Jam and had worn the frets down.
I took it into the local Gutair ER and had the Frets
re-crowned. It was a pretty simple procedure and didn't cost
very much. (Aprox $40.00) Hope this helps.
