First of all, sorry for my poor english, but here i go
I`m doing some LED/fretboard work for many friends and now i`m doing it as a regular basis for other people
My latest work is an Ernie Ball/Musicman StingRay 5 (no pics yet) and let me tell you that it was a mayor PAIN. Like already said this is not new for me, usually took me 20 minutes to take off a fretboard, but in this cas was 1-2 hours because (i didn`t knew) it has 4 BIG locating pins mi knife was so sharp that in fact i cleanly cut the first 2 of them but the last 2 was a nightmare.
So if you encounter some problems taking off your fretboard consider that it may have locating pins, but beside that i must say that with care, patience and tools in good shape you won`t have problems.
BTW. I use heat and veri little steam, because of the moisture, it tends to expand the wood.
