Hi,
I got a new Ibanez guitar today (NGD thread will follow shortly), and I noticed that at 2 frets the fret ends were not 100% sealed/filled with wood-filler (see pictures).
My questions are:
-Would something like this be considered a flaw or is this normal?
-Could this cause problems in the long run (humidity, dust or grease getting into the opening and 'pushing against the fret' or something like that)?
-Is there a way I could seal or fill those tiny openings myself?
Thanks,
Lars
