    Quick Question on Sharp Fret Ends

    As I wait for my Axis to be delivered - coming from Vegas. I think I have everything I need to keep her at it's prime.

    Just in case, if the fret edges are a bit sharp, I'm not talking full fret sprout but just a bit to where they catch. What would you recommend to get them to normal.

    I may be jumping ahead, I just want to make sure the set-up is to my liking and if I have to do anything to her once I'm fiddling with the set-up I'd like to take care of everything at once.

    I'm in Florida so I'm trying to figure if the climate change will change anything.

    Thanks

    I did kind of the opposite and left NY for Vegas so I understand your concerns.

    It all depends on the guitar but I would imagine it will take a little bit of time for the Axis to become acclimated to it's new, humidity rich, environment

    When I moved, I only had a slight issue with sharp fret ends on one guitar so....

    My Morse has had absolutely no issues regarding fret ends and it's been in Sin City for almost two years.

    Good luck and you know the "no pics, no guitar" rule

    Flat piece of wood wrapped in 1200 wet and dry will cure any slight sharpness.
    Prolly won't need to do anything to it.

    Yeah what Spud suggested would do the trick as well.

    Better yet, PRACTICE - do this enough and your hand will smooth the frets!!!
