within several months my ja has signs of fret-wear
first few frets, (fret-wire).
guitar tech is going to do a custom fret-dress.
the thing i'm concerned about is
given the fact my style doesn't employ a lot of hammer-on
pull-off type maneuvers, & i have not been playing this
guitar as much as i would imagine would cause this.
also, i have never experienced this with a guitar. it normally
takes much longer for this to happen.
the action was set a little high. (was advised this might occur
with increased pressure; hand on strings to achieve sound).
also, i'm using dr strings; round-wound; 10-50's.
does gauge of string effect wear on wire?
my concern is at this rate i'd have to get a fret job
in a few years. (esp. since i've begun playing this guitar
more recently). any similar experiences? or wisdom appreciated.
