I can't remember if it's Gryphon, or whoever, but someone Rich mentioned here is spouting off about some eliptical levelling or something. It looks very similar to a compound radius, although the drawing has
neck bow put into it. So it looks real scientific and like you could justify the extra money for it. I "get" it, so I'm not some simpleton who looks at the drawing and scratches my head, but it seems to me that its simply a compound radius that is ground or milled into the frets while the neck is under simulated tension. So they get your neck to be properly bowed, and then remove any inconsistencies from the fret tops. This is an automatic during a refret, because it's done if you level the board under simulated tension, and fret with varying pressure. But the real genious here is that they are doing it all to the frets, not the neck. I guess that's worth something. Plus they say they'll consult with you about how you play first. I think that just translates into the "bow/radius" factor. To me, levelling the frets under simulated
string tension while minding the playing style is 99% of this deal.
