Okay, the handsome mando player in my life thinks there is a conspiracy among luthiers to make soft fret wire that wears out quickly. Why can't frets be made out of a harder material? His vintage Vega (1910) an aquisition of 1 year ago, already needs new frets. And looking at my vega, so does it. What is the deal. Can you get super hard fret wire? Is there any reason not to? Any bright ideas out there? We would rather replace strings than frets!
