Hi ,
I have an odd question . I have an aluminum guitar neck that has been
cut for frets and
they cut the slots in the wrong place . The slots are quite shallow .
The neck was
later cut properly and has been fretted . I want to fill the empty
slots . Does anyone
have any tips as to how this could be repaired ?
Thanks for your time !

If the slots are rectangular, you could have a machinist measure the
slots and make bars that would press into them. They're probably all
similar enough that he could make bar stock to cut up and press in,
perhaps secured with Loctite. Some careful work with file and
abrasives would then make them nearly disappear.

If you like how the instrument sounds as is, I wouldn't touch it nor
allow anyone else to.
