Hey all, long time no see. I have a quick question from a friend of mine who recently bought a new acoustic guitar. His main issue with the guitar is that the metal frets hang a little off the edge of the neck (they are a little too long), so when he plays it, it kind of cuts into his hand. He was going to grind them down, but decided against it because he wasn't sure if this would tear off the finish. He asked me if I had any suggestions, and I told him I didn't really know, this isn't really my expertise. So I told him to wait a little while so I could ask you guys your opinion of the situation, so he doesn't do anything he'll regret.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ace
