What do you think of plastic fretboards? I have never played a uke that had one. I can see advantages and disadvantages. Advantage - the fret placement should be correct. Disadvantage - do the frets wear down quicker than brass? In an older uke, should I be concerned about deterioration or degrading of the frets? How does a plastic fretboard affect the sound on a uke with a wooden body? Is there a sound difference? Do plastic fretboards come loose? I noticed a lot of them have two screws below the 12th fret that secure them to the body. Any comments will be appreciated.
