Sharp Fret Ends

Might be difficult to avoid scratching the neck using sandpaper. I'd get a little file to do the job - doesn't need to be anything special as the metal is quite soft.

Google 'needle file' - plenty of them around, and cheap too. Toolstation do a set of 6 for £3.65! Pick the best one for the job then spend the rest of your life trying to find uses for the other 5!

No? Ok, that might be just me then...

I've used this to get rid of sharp ends when the temperature & humidity caused fret-sprout:

Protect around the area with masking tape so you don't attack the wood/finish & it should be a straightforward job
