Evo is slightly gold. You can barely notice it but if u mixed it with ur old frets u would. It would look a little odd.

Okay, I'm used to voicing the dissenting opinion around here.

I think you should get at LEAST a decade out of a set of frets. But I qualify that by agreeing to the remarks above about touch.

There is NO way that a new guitar (IMO) should need fret attention that quickly unless you play with gorilla paws and an attitude.

Just my .02

No reason to "should" on people. Fret mileage varies for a number of various reasons.

My friend bought a Taylor 522 about 2 months ago. The first one had a warped top. Taylor sent him a new one. He changed the strings the other day and showed me very noticeable divots in the frets already, mostly in 1st position, but also down the neck. After 2 months? This can't be normal. My Martin and G & L I have had over a decade and no divots. Should he talk to Taylor again? Would they warranty fret wear since it's only been 2 months? Never owned a Taylor, never delt with them.
