Alright guys, Rich specifically, I've played a few Prestiges over the last 12-18mos and the feel of each fret job seems random so I can't figure out what makes THE prestige fret edge treatment.
I realize the maple necks don't have all the steps due to the clear coat process...but I can't figure out what the process IS in the first place. I've been looking on and off at a local RG5120, trying to wrap my head around it all. The fret sprout is pretty bad on that one, but probably not much worse than my S5570Q was before I took my sanding stick and Rich gave me some advice on making the fingerboard edges feel better.
Also what file/s should a guy have to try to clean up/round the fret ends? Living in Arkansas is rough on guitar necks. The StewMac sanding stick isn't made for too much of that kind of abuse.
Thanks!
Luke
