This turned out really well. I didn't want to level the frets on my best guitars initially but now I almost feel like they're a step behind the ones I've leveled.
I've spent a lot of money on tools and pickups the last months. But the fret stuff was only around 320€. And if I level my best guitars too that'll be 5 guitars that I've done a full fretboard level on.
Definitely a very good investment that I should have done a lot sooner
A professional luthier around here would charge around 200€ for every full fretboard level, from what I've read on some forum...so yeah. Pretty crazy...

Yep. $190 USD locally for a level and polish here. The guys at my local shop are extremely well regarded and they're great guys and fabulous for repairs and custom work. But honestly I think my leveling work is as good if not better because I spend an hour or so with the crowning file and micromesh squares to ensure that there's not even the most infinitesimal amount of rock anywhere on the neck. An amount of time that the shops near me don't budget for, because I'm obnoxiously discerning...
