hey, maybe i can help

yeah, i pull the frets and always replace them with fender vintage frets,

putting new frets on a bound fretboard is a lot more difficult than a non bound board, you have to cut the underneath towards the edge so the fret hangs over the bindings,


if you look close you'll see what i mean,

i can't get over how good this came out, but no bids yet

Image


yes, about ebay, i have 100 percent feedback on there, i am willing to sell this for 275 no lower, i paid a little over 200 for the neck alone, and with parts and labor

as you can see, i don't charge much considering the expenses and labor, I'm making about enough for cigarettes for about 3 days, HA!, sometimes i want to cry when i think of how little i charge , once i called some company , i forgot which one, its online, but they wanted something like 700 for a neck like this to be made custom, and i can't figure out why, but if anyone is interested, check it out on ebay, you can view the whole modification here,

you can see the bindings better in these shots because the iPhone doesn't have flash and for some reason captures it better, although my other camera looks better from a distance, \

Good looking stuff. Most people start out with guitar bodies. You jumped into the deepest shit, fretting/inlays/binding.

If you want a million dollars by working on guitars. Start out with 10 million dollars, you'll be down to a million in no time :lol:
