Fretwork

In Part 1, we discovered 16 high frets on this RCE solidbody, making a full fret level and dress absolutely necessary. And so, the major part of today was spent on fretwork. Extra effort was also needed to clean up the cruddy sides of each and every fret after recrowning. Here's where the abrasive paper and credit card hack came in really handy. Thank you, Ben Crowe!
