Frets lifting off

[lutehole]

My frets on my electric, notably the 1st and a few other random frets, are lifting off the fretboard; they aren't sticking out the edge of the fretboard so i assume the fretboard is not shrinking (RH 61%).

What is happening?

Perhaps the guitar is too wet, the fretboard has been over-oiled, or the frets were never installed right to begin with.

May I ask what guitar your talking about?

Sure, It is a super strat.

Some frets are lifting. This isn't especially uncommon and may be nothing more than a few frets lifting. They may need to be reseated. Not a big deal in and of itself.

Thanks Charles

If the general state of the frets is bad, replacing all might be best. If condition is good, reseating is likely all that is necessary. Cyanoacrylite is good. you'll likely need a light fret dressing afterwards too.
