I've not been playing ukulele long but I've inevitably collected a few cheapish ones already. One thing strikes that me as odd, is that all of them, without exception, have rough, slightly abrasive frets, which I would have thought wasn't a good idea in conjunction with with soft nylon strings and indeed the strings do seem to get pitted above the frets quite quickly.
In contrast, I've been playing guitar for years and I think every guitar I played has shiny polished frets.
I'm in the process of giving all my ukes a thorough fret polish but I was wondering if it's just that I've been unlucky with my purchases or if anyone else has noticed this on their ukes and why it might be the case?
