Guitar Repair #1138 - Setup/ Partial Refret - 1966 Guitarra Tamura 木星 - Classical

1966 木星 Guitarra Tamura
At least 4 frets were unevenly filed flat by a previous repair attempt.
The owner yearns to hear the full tone of the instrument in those fret positions
and would be happy if I could alleviate string buzzes, as a result of those bad frets.

The action was maintained as requested.
It is where it really is now, due to the new 12th fret.
Restored
The guitar sings beautifully now. Quite amazing tone, from a vintage.
