This ace Yamaha Pacifica, believed to be one of the first in the UK, was in the workshop for some much needed TLC after years of playing, the main job was a fret recrown due to worn frets.
Interestingly this model Pacifica had a slightly different body carve relief and weight, along with a stamped serial number on the headstock rather than a decal on the newer models. It dates around the mid 90's.
The photos below show the wear on the frets and the change of the fret profile during the recrowning.

Once the frets had their new crown profile filed into them, the frets were had polished to a shine

Once the fretwork was complete, the guitar was setup along with all the wiring having a service, before the guitar was ready for the customer to enjoy again!
