Sorry I'm late to the party. I'd love to see pictures of the damaged frets, to assess both the damage and the size of the raw fret wire and offer my two cents before you commit to task. Many acoustics have small frets and a level, crown and polish on damaged frets that were small to begin with can make a guitar seemingly unplayable because the frets can be reduced to practically nothing left under a heavy leveling hand.

Sometimes a partial refret, where only heavily damaged frets are replaced and then a LCP ensues, is the better solution. I do this a lot for capo junkies whose bars eat their fret bed in the open chords area/box alive. Just something to be aware of as a potential solution.

Sure thing. Can you get me an email address to send pics?

Very professional of you to offer to look at pics and give advice.
