Improving fret access - strat body

[xntrick]

Greetings

I am planning on refinishing my superstrat next week and I've been curious to sculpt the lower horn for better access. What tools would I need for this and is it very easy to do? I already know it will require some serious elbow grease as the body is maple. I've though about getting a soloist body but money is very sparse at the moment. Thanks for any guidance with this matter.

I've used these and highly recommend them.  :icon_thumright:

I bought the set of 4153 
These's are pricey, but well worth having in the tool draw.

Can see here where I used them on rounding off the edges and the horns of a Tele and made the contour heel as well.

Then just used a bit of sandpaper.

Very cool what you can do with a simple file. The photos from your first post are perfect!!!
