Frets should have that littled curved shape after they have been maintained. Not flat!

And don't talk nonsense JV - frets need to be at least 3 cigarette papers high. :roll:
:lol:
JVsearch said:Yes, but I meant that the frets get "levelled" in relation to each other - it's often from frets 3 to 7 or something that gets worn but the higher up ones are still ok. Then you have the situation where the less worn frets start to affect the vibration of the strings when you play in the worn area. You can raise the action a bit and get some more time out of it, or get them all to the same level again. .
JVsearch said:Absolutely right though - the frets should be re-profiled while they are being got to the correct height, it's not a case of just flattening them all off.
