    So, How many problems can you see with this guitar?
    After I got the top of the guitar sanded and the DP shaped.





    New fret board and fret wire.



    Old fret board gone and naked!

      Gluing the headstock together!


      This is where it's at right now. How's it look?

                Looks good so far. Is that a neck-through or a set neck?

                I understand redoing the frets, since they look pretty crappy, but why replace the fretboard? Were the slots cut poorly as well?

                  Yes, It's a 2004 Honda CBR600RR.
                  It's a set neck like a lot of the deans are.
                  I replaced the board after a lot of debate on my part, because one, the inlays even had flaws in them and I didn't like them even if they would have been perfect. Two I wanted ebony. The ebony I got is macassar ebony and was a little more affordable. I also didn't like the black (grey) binding on the neck. Thanks for looking. Hope you guys enjoy it.

                        I always have thought that Deans look at their best either just prior to or just after coming out of a wood chipper.

                          Don't worry about it, looks great what you did to it. I'm almost cleansed of the shame of owning a Dean myself
