    Hey, for pulling frets I use one of these:

    You will need to grind down the 'front' of the pincer so it sits flat against the fret board and the cutting part can get under the fret. It can be an idea to heat the frets up with a soldering iron as you go to loosen any glue, but I've managed to pull them out pretty easily without doing that. Just go easy and watch for splintering. If you catch those bits (there are always a couple) it's pretty easy to superglue them back in and sand it all nice and flat with all the frets out. Also if you give it a bit of a radius sand you should get plenty of sawdust to use to patch those problem areas with some CA and sawdust, then sand again and it should be apples.

    That's exactly what I've used on various fret-pulling exploits.
