Wow, I love how much love and care you put into your work! In a world of Chinese knock offs and outsourcing (nothing against chinese peeps, just price cutting) we have people like you that baby there work and do things the harder way for that extra mile.
Two thumbs up man! I really want to do this to my ESP horizon but boy Im scared to injure that beauty. I really want Stainless Steel because I am a grip beast...(please give tips or a vid on compound radius necks, don't mean to bug)

"They do shine" EPIC WIN :DD
Beautiful guitar. I like the hardtail. Was that stock or did you modify that bridge?

@kammhron It's a stock '97 Fender American Standard Stratocaster Hardtail. The only mods are the new frets and nut, pickguard and electronics.

What do you suggest for cleaning the oil and grime on rosewood fingerboards? I have read people using just about everything. I am thinking naptha from stewmac what do you think?

@azfryguy Naptha works fine, a lot of times I'll use mineral spirits instead though. It flashes off slower giving you more working time. And of course mineral spirits (sometimes naptha too) can be purchased locally at any hardware store I would think.

Just an idea about removing the frets - Is it a bright idea to lay tape down when you're doing the solder treatment/plier removing of the frets to maybe prevent or combat chippage?

@6Vital6Remains6 That would probably just burn up the tape and make a mess. If I'm really concerned about chipping, it can be advantageous to wet the fingerboard around the frets before application of the heat and removal. The water will flash off as steam and that has a tendency to minimize chipout.
