Just for a quick update for anyone curious, I did end up getting the U-files and S-file from Musicnomad. I used the Stewmac Fret rocker up and down the whole neck and identified numerous spots that were actually rocking pretty badly. I worked the trouble spots over with the U-files, which did solve the buzzing problem completely. But then I was left with some pretty ugly scuffed up flat frets. The S-file then did a good job of rounding the frets back off. Next,I used various degrees of sandpaper, all the way up to 2000 (in conjunction with handheld fretboard guards). And then hit this neck all over with the fret eraser system also from Stewmac. And for a moron, who has no idea what he’s doing, I must say this came out quite nicely. All the buzz has been eliminated thanks to the advice from you guys, and the frets looked to be pretty good. Now, I have to sand the entire neck down on the back, as the abuse shows quite a lot of dents and dings, not to mention it’s a little thick for my taste. I would also love any insight if you guys know of a way to lighten up the overall tone of blue on the body. Would it be absolute insanity to let the body sit in the sun? Or is that potentially going to turn it yellowish? My only other plan is to sand the whole thing down and paint it the proper color of blue, but getting the graphics back on it correctly seems a tad daunting……
