What is fret sprout?
When the metal ends of a guitar's frets protrude beyond the edge of the fretboard, creating a sharp, rough surface it's fret sprout. Haywire Custom Guitars can fix fret sprout. A quick light touch with a fret end dressing file removes any sharp edges, leaving smooth and rounded fret ends that won’t slice your fingers. Instead of feeling like a cross-cut saw the neck will be smooth and playable again.
