Zero fret worn out?
Posted: 03 Feb 2009 18:05
Hi!
Noticed a strange thing... On my Excalibur Custom, Zero Fret has cavities (or guides?) in which strings reside. When I do bend strings 1-3 on 1-3 frets, sometimes string pops out of the cavity - mostly I feel it with my fingers, it doesn't seem to have any impact on sound.
Is it worn out already (looks like strange after half a year of playing) and needs replacement or that's normal "by design" and I just haven't noticed it before?
I've always been thinking the Zero Fret should be flat and without any cavities, similar to regular frets...am I wrong?
Thanks in advance!
