It might make playing a bit easier, but that's something that's better left to people with a lot of experience. This isn't something you want to do over the weekend because you're bored.

Quite honestly I'm not a good enough of a guitar player to justify getting that done to my guitar and I don't personally know anyone who is. You might be, I don't know. If you're not sure it's better to be safe than broke, if you are then go for it and let us all know how it goes. But don't do it yourself.
