Usually it takes me 3 to 4 months before the first marks show on the lower frets on a new guitar, that's why I'll never buy a guitar without SS frets again.
And for 250$ you could easily get an unfinished Warmoth neck with all the extras you want, then finish it with TruOil or another oil-based finish (feels much better than a lacquered neck and is easy to do), an live happily ever after...

X2 on the SS frets. After almost chickening out from ordering stainless steel frets (due to several posts on how they make the guitar overly bright or buzzy sounding) I went ahead and pulled the trigger and ordered my latest Tele neck with them. I probably won't go back to regular fret material other than on the guitars I build from scratch (since I already have a bulk supply of the regular fret stock and it's easier on my tools when I have to do the intitial dressing of my less than perfect fret jobs) but will always order them on the necks I have premade.
You could probably buy a finished Musikraft neck w/ the stainless frets for about the same price as a maple neck fret job and it would be a MUCH better neck IMO.
