I saw a nice Bondo job on a $5-10k 1940's Gibson. Pink flat areas everywhere, yuck. lol

Here is the work order;
Replace 7 frets
Recrown and polish other frets
Clean Nut slots
Manufacture a 84 Ninja cow bone replacement Saddle
Re- slot bridge pin holes
New Bridge Pins
Replace missing fretboard bottom binding (I used Spalted Sycamore)
Final Neck check and set up (neck angle is fantastic for a 30 year old)
Replace 9V battery
New set of strings.

What would you folks charge? Again, I am doing all of this work for fun, just getting a feel for what I should charge in the future. I think Fret replacements are $25-$50 per slot?
