Got some fret wire from work that fits into the slots nicely. No glue or water needed
Checked with .004" feeler gauge.
New problem. The neck had a serious back bow. I tighted the truss rod so much the FB lifted from the neck at the 1st fret. Grrrrr. I slipped some wood glue in the space, relaxed the rod and reclamped it.
I then saw on YouTube that you can place a shim in the middle of the neck and clamp a straight bar at the 1st and last frets. (Creating a slight concave). Then place it in the oven for one hour @ 175 degrees Fahrenheit. After one hour take out and keep in clamps overnight to cool. (Fingers crossed)
