No, I think you meant "magnetized women are more attractive."
Wait... maybe both are true!

Depends upon the stand
Three throws for $5, knock down all three guitars - completely flat on the ground - and win this car!

If I hit the car window, can I keep the guitars?

It would be impossible to knock down a guitar with SS frets.
And even if you could…it wouldn’t sound any different hitting the ground than a guitar with nickel frets.

I’d prefer we test at your house/stuff as opposed to mine.

But I don’t have any SS fret guitars…because…well PRS refuses to use them just to make me miserable.

You know, I did refret an LP with them once. I sorta liked how they felt, but it wasnt life changing or anything. My tools were totally f'ed up tho. I will never do a refret job with them again.

Well, and then there’s the great compromise EVO Gold frets made by Jescar… real long lasting. Harder than nickel Dunlops, softer than SS.. They sound more like nickel but last almost as long as SS.. Eastman uses them…..
. I used the Jescar EVO on my Swaim Guitar Works handmade Korina/maple top Les Paul . I played that guitar a lot and didn’t want to refret but then I bought my DGT and then that all changed..LOL……

I played a Telecaster for a long time. On average, I had to take it in about once a year to give the frets a good going over. At one point I had to have 12 of the frets replaced.
Mr. Smith said they use nickel frets that are made as hard as their manufacturer is willing to make them. I bought my Vela this past December and play it at least 2 hours a day. I'm hoping Mr. Smith is right when he said these frets should last for years.

I can believe the frets are harder than usual german silver ones. I string with 11's, I have a monkey grip and I like agresive fast vibratos. I usually use up frets fairly fast. All my Fenders had groove after a year while my Custom shows non of it. I also have over 20 years old PRS used by touring and london studio musician and same story, no grooves, heathy frets up and down. I care non for SS frets

My luthier friend has just done a re-fret on a Mandolin using something similar and he was commenting (complaining) that his usual tools were struggling.
