Yeah, I figured that the frets would be the most complicated and precision requiring aspect of a guitar build. Just a few thousands of an inch one way or the other and you have intonation issues. Multiply that by the 20 to 24 frets on a normal neck and you have a challenging task. The factory neck might be the best way to go.
