Hey Team 


Quick question re fret wear . When I first started playing I was a bit heavy fingered when fretting which lead to heavy grooves in the fret wires.


Over time I have learnt to try and be more gentle and the wear is considerably less . I clean the strings after each use and still notice a little bit of wear . The odd grove doesn't look to deep and am assuming that a little bit of wear is normal considering its metal on metal ?  Does anyone else find they get a bit of fret groves over time ? From time to time I will drop it in for a fret polish and they polish out. How normal are small groves in the fret wires?


Cheers Team
