Yes, Kevin. I actually have defretted two. The Telecaster works kind
of ok but the other one had an old Schecter neck and I suffered from
the typical issue with doing fret job on old instruments; parts of
wood come off when you remove old frets. So this neck needs more work.
Lots of great hints have been given in this thread already, so I have
nothing to add. Just read up well on unfretted.com, that's where I
found guidance when took the leap.

Wow! That instrument is a complicated machine inside. You're looking
at some seriously advanced project.
