I found that the stainless wraps on the wound strings were causing visible fretwear, which I normally don't get because frankly I don't play enough.
I think I'd rather have frets which wear the strings out than strings which wear the frets out. Strings are still relatively cheap.
I go to Shane Haigh and I've never had a single issue. A far cry from the other guitar techs of Wakefield who struggle to even install straplocks.
Thank you for good sense at last! Three pages in but we finally got there. Stainless steel is a bit harder than most other steels though, perhaps that is a factor. Hardness of fingerboard timber makes a significant difference (at least in acoustic guitars, dunno about electrics) so there seems to be some reason to think it might matter with frets as well.
