Post NS Stick Frets
I've no doubt this has been asked before however the old data is gone so time to rebuild it! ;-)

The NS Stick has "bass guitar type frets" rather then rods or rails. What are these frets made out of? Has anyone experienced any type of fret wear?

Mine has some wear but I have no unusual "buzz" issues. I'm not sure what they are made of, but they are not that soft material that some luthiers use.

Ray,

I believe the frets are traditional nickel-silver. So, I imagine they will eventually wear down.
