Sadly I'm already seeing the beginnings of fret wear on my 00-28 because I bend a lot. I'm seeing it all the way down to the 9th fret. No pits yet, but I see the precursors to it. So yeah, I'm worried about fret wear. The guitar I'm re-fretting is is significantly pitted up at the cowboy frets on the trebles. It's playable, but only after I re-set it up with higher action on the treble strings than I usually prefer. My Martin will need this in two years too I can see.
