Stainless steel fretwire for compound radius

Thanks!!!

I ordered a repro guard and it will need to be notched for the pickup and…

Hey everyone!
My repair mentor was visiting my shop today and was talking about a customer of his who has a greven that needs a neck set. He has never reset one before and I was curious if anyone here has and knows any details about the neck joint. Thanks!!!!
