Just got off the phone with a nice gentleman from Indianapolis who I'm going to take my Strat to... We discussed what I want done and here's what I decided on:

New custom bone nut
Complete refret (I'm going up one size from vintage smalls to medium vintage)
A partial leveling (I didn't want him to sand off the satin finish on my entire fretboard because it's just now getting worn through to the wood and I like the look of it... So he's just going to sand and level from about the 12th fret to the end of the heel... Because that's where the swelling is occuring and causing the raised tongue.)

I'm pretty pumped... He's going to do all the work for aroud 225-250 USD... I checked the prices to have it done at the Guitar Hospital in Michigan and it was over 500 USD....... So I think it's the best choice. I'm going this weekend to check out some of his work and to drop my baby off...
