    Frets too short?

    Hey Guys, literally asking for a friend... She is a long time player but absolute beginner to all things buildy & is a bit shy to ask.
    Has received her first kit ST1-M & is concerned that some of the frets are just too short - is this something that should be returned, or a hefty crash course in replacing frets?
    Really appreciate any comments, Cheers.

    Yeah, that looks messed up. 3 through 6 could do with replacing.
    The real test is if you test assemble with a clamp in the Center of the board, then fit the high e string. It will quickly show you if it’s going to be an issue with it fouling.
    I’d counsel your friend to get in touch with adam to discuss. It might be something he can sort really easily.
