    Thats what happens when you are fretting tired. It will be mostly covered by the Fret in each case. I also need to upgrade my measurement methodology

    Nope. Thats a boo boo that made me say caca. They are misplaced fret slots filled with Ironwood dust and superglue.

    Don't they say "Measure twice, mark once, cut once, re-measure, re-mark, cut again, fill in the cock-ups"?

    Yep, looks close enough to be covered by the fret.

    That neck is coming up nicely.
