Pic of fret wire - Will this matter, or is it just bad workm


Hear is a pic of one of my frets on my 7vwh. T As you can see there is a small gap where the fret wire and the edge of the ebony meet. Other than it being bad workmanship, is there anything I need to be concerned about?

if you don't have a fret buzz, it shouldn't hurt anything, most of my guitars look like that, I wouldn't worry about it, it's more cosmetic than anything.

No fret buzz. *So it's just cosmetic. I won't complain *'cause the guitar sounds great. Still, I don't see this on Fender Squires.

Id burn in some stick shellac, Its just cosmetic but if some moisture got in there it could lift the fret in time.

its a real simple op.

Thanks Steve, but what is Stick Shellac and how do you "burn" it in?
