Just find this old thread from 2004 -"SS frets 2 years later " .

So , just wondering , how your SS frets looks like after 6 (or it is 7 ) years ?:D :cool:

I have a 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and a 2007. They all look brand new.

2006 on, and all brand new as well. Mediums, Heavy's and 1 set of jumbos - all good:D

4 SS Andy's (new one on the way!) - all built in late 06 or 07. Brand new. That might not seem like a big deal, but I have a couple of non Andy's that have seen similar playing time, and they have a couple of small divots in the first 3 positions already (particularly my strat with vintage wire.)

My Crowdster has seen a lot of play over 3 years.

My Cobra I've had less than a year, but it saw a couple busy years with the guy I got it from.

Both have virtually unworn frets.

i have seen 2 guitars with wear on the stainless. one was a crowdster that had a mangled 2nd and 3rd fret after less than a year of use by a very heavy handed cowboy chord player. he's also a chronic string breaker. it was pretty shocking. then i saw crowders guitars that are close to 5 years old with 200 dates per year on them and they look beautiful.
you can't say they'll never wear, but the life expectancy is many times that of traditional frets. as good as that is, i still marvel at how they feel exactly the same as the last time i played the guitar even if it's been a long time in the case. gotta love the consistency.

Thanks Guys !
Now , hardly waiting for the next 6 (or it is 7 ) years to see about stainless frets condition after 12-13 years (cowboys not allowed :eek: :) )
