Ape09090 Ape09090 Old Timer Registered: 01/12/11 Posts: 1188 Loc: South Wales	Hi Graham, it's a Chinese made Squier,I have no idea of it's age or what kind of wood it's made out of but overall it's not a bad guitar for what it is but in the same breath it's still a cheap guitar,if you know what I mean. I certainly don't have any qualms about knocking it about to test my modding skills though so that's all good. I had flatter,lower frets on my Les Paul if I remember correctly and they were comfortable but don't worry the frets are smooth enough to not cause any playing issues.Besides I don't think I took too much off anyway. I'm just going to have a look now and see if I can find where she's shorting out. $\:\)$ Edited by Ape09090 (31/12/11 12:22 PM) _________________________ also known as Andrew on Skype as myrddin333 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Q3Zq8ozt4

Megi Megi Old Timer Registered: 08/07/11 Posts: 1271 Loc: Lincolnshire	Hi folks, took a while, but in response to Jocko's original request (see the first post in this thread) I have done a picture guide to my fret-levelling, crowning and polishing procedure, which is now incorporated into my Strat build project thread: Fret levelling/crowning in Megi's strat build - have a look if interested. This is just how I do it - use at your own risk! _________________________ Graham, jazz guitar nut!
