Portland Fret Works

Twenty two year GAL member Todd Mylet studied lutherie in Minnesota at Redwing Tech in 1995 and has been building and repairing various and sundry fretted instruments since. He plies his trade at Portland Fret Works with three other luthiers. When not luthing, he enjoys baking bread, surfing, and making his wife and two teenage daughters yawn by waxing on about the idiosyncrasies of the neck he is resetting.

▪ Pull a couple frets, chip out two hunks of the fretboard, sink a couple screws, and glue the chips back in. You might not want to do this on a fine vintage instrument, but not every guitar that comes through the door is a pre-war D-28. Am I right?
