Guitar Lacquer Finish

A guitar's finish plays a significant role in the wear and tear of the fret wire. A guitar lacquer finish is a protective barrier, shielding the wood from dirt, moisture, and oils that can cause damage. However, as the finish deteriorates or accumulates dirt over time, the fret wire may experience accelerated wear. If the finish becomes cracked, it can further contribute to the degradation of the fret wire, affecting the overall integrity of the instrument.
