Great pics.....thanks

Very true Fred. I've always said that setup and tone really go hand in hand. If someone picks up the guitar and if it's not setup properly that's not a great first impression.

I took all 4 of my guitars out and Tom and I had a nice chat for a couple hours.....truly one of the nicest guys ever.
Glad you made it out Todd. It's always a pleasure meeting up with you.

Did you come up with this idea?
Also, Do you find any difference in sound between the Evo Gold and the stainless?
I'm sure other people have done the same method as I do before I install frets. I started doing it because it just made sense to me. I've done it for years that way. What also helped me was back in the day I would get my guitars PLEKed and the computer would do a virtual scan of the fretboard. So I could see where my problem areas were on the fretboard. When I started doing my fretboard this way they vastly improved. Far as the difference tonaly between gold evo and stainless I personally can't tell a difference.
