In the last couple of months I've switched over to GHS Nickel Rocker Strings, I really like the sounds I'm getting out of them (on a strat and a 335). You have to change them a little more often, but that's no big deal. I was just wondering how much Nickel strings saved on fret wear and tear? I would think that since nickel is softer than Stainless that my frets might not take as much punishment as before? Is it just me or does it seem like Fender is using softer material for frets these days?
