Anyone know what radius ESP/LTD uses on the Ninja-600's? I've worn the frets down quite a bit on mine in the year I have had it and it will be due for a recrown soon. I need the radius so I know what radius sanding block I need to buy/make. Thanks

Well I have a feeling I will need to make a radiused block......all the guitar tool sites have sae inch stuff and is't the measurements on ESP/LTD's in mm?

Yeah, but does the person refretting the guitar have tools that bend the frets in mm??? :p

Besides, I would think the difference is minimal anyway...

It's not gong to be a refret job, Its just going to be planing the frets to the correct radius and recrowning them. Besides, I don't think it was done that well from the factory as some of the 6-9 frets still had light file marks on them.
