Hi,
What radiuss did you go with, and did you install the frets? They look like standard medium jumbo, and the radiuss looks around a 9 or so. Just guessing. Beatiful job. Just great!

9.5" radius, Jescar FW55090ss wire (0.090″ x .055″), and in the case of this neck, came to me already fretted.

I use the same wire for my refrets, and there is a thread around here somewhere where I go over doing a refret.

Man! I wish I'd seen this thread a few months ago. My Allparts Tele neck would have looked a lot nicer.

Is Spraying the Tru-Oil better than just rubbing it on?

Just easier and faster on a headstock face or fretboard. I still prefer the wipe on method for the back of necks.
