Done poorly, and you'll have popped a few hundred bucks into an ineffective repair. Done well, and you can have a guitar that will last the rest of your life without needing a neck reset.

I believe that’s basically what he said he would do. Including planing the neck. So seems like that’s the best way to go in hopes of avoiding a neck reset. What frets would be best used?
