It gets better looking each time you post, DB. More like a sculpture than a guitar.

Now it is time for speed humps...errr... frets....
First step is to clean out the slots.
I am using a .25" gauge saw for this as it is the same width as the slots.
You can see how much crud builds up from finishing the fret board....
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Seating the frets...
Firstly, I seat the ends by tapping firmly with a deadblow fretting hammer.
Then I seat the rest of the fret.
Usually I would press the frets in, but due to the shape of the neck and body it was easier to manually seat them.
