Hi Simon. Yes there's a relentless learning curve attached to everything.
My first attempt at fret removal involved a soldering iron.
For some reason I neglected that step on one fret and it seemed to come out with no damage to the wood.
I have not had any experience with playing a 7.25 radius fretboard so far.
Once I get a good test on this one, I may get the chance to hone my radius skills on my other victims.
cheers, Mark.
