I was lucky enough to get a Gold Tone Little Gem for Christmas- and playing yesterday I lost a lot of skin and a little flesh on my right hand index finger due to sharp fret ends. I got out my fret file this mornin.g as able to correct all but one fret.
The odd fret out is a problem because it is sitting up out of the fretboard and because this fingerboard has binding on the sides the fret is sitting up above the binding by just enough to get a fingernail under. Because of this, I have a snag point on this fret regardless of how I file the end.
I’m looking for ideas on how to handle this - the fret in question is the second-highest fret and sits right where I’m strumming, otherwise I’d just get it close and not worry so much.
Could I put a little super glue under the fret to fill the gap? Is there a better option?
