Hi Richard

What's fret dressing ??   

I have had several guitars over the years and never had any such fret problems.

Nowadays I have a an old Hofner President which I don't use.

I have an accoustic Yamaha FG-360 and have had it for many years. I played it regularly for about fours years and due to illness I didn't play it at all until two years ago. Since then I play it most days for at least an hour.

There are no indentations or marks on the frets at all.

However there are sligh indentations in the wood on the fingerboard where I play most. They do not affect my playing or the tuning.

cheers
