One thing I like about ukes with plain strings only is I don't see how they could wear the frets much, if any at all, over time.
I'm wondering how much the type of wound string used for low G wears frets? They feel softer than steel type strings. I experienced some minor fret wear with a guitar I had for over 10 years, but I know those strings are made differently (especially the plain steel strings, obviously). Uke is the only instrument I've ever owned for any extended amount of time that uses nylon strings.
Has anyone here ever experienced fret wear with ukes with either plain or wound strings?
Thanks in advance to any replies. This is something I've been curious about for a while, but I'm just not getting around to asking.
