| Total greenhorn here so I'll most likely screw up the terminology, but I just got a MM j neck with rosewood fb early this week and both ends of the fret wire stuck past the edge of the board enough my hand would catch on every one of them on both sides. The good news was the rosewood was also just an RCH proud on both sides so there was a small amount of practice wood to take off before it got do or die serious. It took about a half hour with a file and about half that much more sanding to get a good edge on both sides. My goal was to make it look as much like the edges of the neck on my MIM jazz as I could and it came out much better than I expected it to. I wish I could leave it raw, but after reading the info on Warmoth's site about raw maple necks I'm boning up on finish types and techniques.
