Hi.
I just bought Yamaha C-60 classical piece for me and it feels very light and plays fast.
But there is something I noticed. When I bend the string, it wont slide over the fret - it rolls over. I figured out that fret crowns aren't silky smooth. You won't recognize it by touching it with finger, but taking a very close sight, furrows can be seen.
So, I know that this is a mechanical disorder, but I was thinking if this was caused by corrosion, because my brand new strings (from yesterday) become brown in the parts where you push them to the fret. Frets doesn't seem to be rusted.
Furrows are very small and aren't caused with sanding paper (I suppose), because they're everywhere. Even on the separated last fret, which lenght is app. 1 inch altogether.
The seller told me that the guitar was laying in the closet for over 4 years and hasn't been played since then. The guitar is in perfect condition and there's nothing on it that could show her 7 ages of oldness. The bridge is massive, kind of surprising by classical guitar, since I had always problems with classy bridges and all of them were made of plastic. The C-60 has the wooden one.
Ok, any ideas? What could cause furrows on my frets? Corrosion maybe? I bind together the time of her laying in the closet and corrosion. What do you think?
Does this means that I'll have to replace the frets? I wouldn't like to do that, even though I did it once in past time, but it takes me so much work that I'd rather decide for better solution.
Thank you.
