for items such which is based on player's preference (string action, etc) yes I agree its alright to send back. However to send back to have things FIXED (even though it is free) is absurd in my opinion.

you are paying for a service, not for a chance for whoever wannabe tech to learn his craft.

Note: No, I have not dealt with GH.

Not sure. Maybe because of spape parts now expensive ? Are the frets made in Malaysia or have to be imported ?

Probably that's why the increase price because of weak Ringgit if they are imported.

I have an old Fender Strat (bought in 1990 from Bentley) with solid maple neck. The frets mostly are rosak already but rather than changing the whole neck I'm wondering if anyone know where can I just replace the frets and how much is the cost ?

I live is Puchong so hopefully there's got one near where I live.

Thanks in advance.

Dont get your point. For smth that's just a few bucks less than a hundred RM, exchange rates, GST, etc wont affect much.
