<p>Looks nice, Stewart. I think I'm going to try the EVO frets on my Stratocaster next. Thanks.</p>

<p>That does look pretty slick and clean. Nice job! And those frets are REALLY BIG. </p>

<p>Hesh, I took your advice and purchased the leveling beam from Technofret. Although sanding-in relief is beyond me at this time, I did add some fall-away to the upper frets. The picture below is after leveling, recrowning, and polishing. Thanks for all the help, guys.</p>

<p>This is taking a while. Not enough hours in the day. I finally got the fret ends beveled and then the sharp edges knocked off with a fret file. My DIY, over-engineered bevel too was made from a Stew-Mac 12" radius block. I angled each side longitudinally the same angle as the neck and vertically, 20 degrees. I went with 20 degrees for the bevel so that I could space the strings out just a little more, as I've always thought they were a little cramped on this guitar.…</p>
