I've got a Tenor Outdoor Ukulele (brown), and a little less than a year into owning it, I'm noticing some distnct wear on the frets -- to the point where it's starting get a bit of a buzz. With the molded nut/bridge, there's nothing to tweak with the action.
Fret wear seems to be explicitly excluded from the warranty (https://www.outdoorukulele.com/pages/warranty ).
Anybody else seen this? I've avoided wound strings, but I'm not sure if any of the fluorocarbon strings I've used might have a powder as mentioned in the warranty. I've used Aquila Reds, and D'Addario Pro-Arte Carbon. Maybe I just fret unusually hard?
Any thoughts on a strategy to deal with this? I was considering something like a paint or polish on the frets to fill in the wear.
