Bar Frets - String Wreckers?
I've recently bought I a 1929 Martin 2-17 which has bar frets. I put some Thomastik Plectrum silk and steel strings on it only a couple of weeks ago and the G string has already had it. The winding has broken second fret and looks like its about to break on a few other frets too.
Any of you guys use bar frets regularly? Are there certain strings with are less susceptable to this? |

thomastik strings can sometimes come apart quite easily
still great sounding though and i use them regularly! as for most other strings i would be suprised is bar frets did much noticeable damage to regular phos/bronze |
