I've done two de-frets now. The best advice I was given from a luthier was 1. For the electric make sure and cover the pickups (better still, remove them if you can) BEFORE you start any work on it because you will want to re-surface/refinish the finger board and if you use fine steel wool, well, that should be self-explanatory. 2. DO consider "filling" the slots that remain from the fret removal, unless you're putting a plain fingerboard back on...it helps keep the neck from warping ever so slightly. Otherwise, yeah, it's pretty straightforward...sounds like a really cool project!
