J'ai trouvé une réponse sur le gear page en faisant une recherche sur google...
Donc c'est apparemment un procédé exclusif, un peu comme True Temperament , il n'y a que eux qui peuvent le faire avec des outils spécifiquement adaptés...
Le prix d'un frettage sur votre guitare... 7000USD

I just spent some time on the phone with Emilio and have the lowdown on Crystal Frets.
This initially started when a Russian guy's girlfriend wanted to put diamond fret markers on his guitar. Erich Stone, an artist, created the frets from an extremely hard quartz instead. Erich doesn't play guitar, but was able to make the frets perfectly, install and crown them, and thus Crystal Frets was born.
They are 3 years old now and have received a patent that will last for 20 years.
Bob Weir is currently playing a Les Paul equipped with Crystal Frets that was originally intended for Warren Haynes. When Bob checked the guitar out he just had to have it.
The company is located in Denver Colorado. There will soon be a documentary film done about Crystal Frets. According to Emilio, "this is a game changer." They are making history with this new development.
They are in talks with several high profile guitarists (all your heroes basically, I was sworn to secrecy) to do frets for them. They are also working with some companies that produce high end fretted instruments.
It's a very intense process to create the frets because of the hardness of the material which is close to diamond in hardness. So yes, it's going to cost some money.
It significantly changes the sound of the notes on the guitar in a good way. "More hi-fi" was how it was explained to me. Even non musicians notice the difference in the quality of the sound. They have applied this process to a variety of guitars of all price levels and the results have been outstanding on them all.
Right now the company is still in the R&D phase and is accepting orders to have guitars done. It ain't cheap! Think of it as jewelry for your guitar. Got a custom made beauty that you are in love with? This takes it to the next level. Guitars that are done now get a certificate of authenticity which, in the future, will ensure that your investment will pay you back many fold. Similar to owning a 56 LP would.
They are accessible now to us mere mortals, but in the future that may change. Although, it was mentioned that after the manufacturing processes get figured out they will be more affordable. The early jobs are going to be worth a lot of money in the future.
Considering the job now runs around 7K there better be a good return on investment.
We may be seeing the beginning of something really exciting for the future of fretted instruments...and you heard it here first.
