The frets stick out just enough to hurt my left hand fingertips if I play it a lot (and if I do a lot of slides on the fretboard). Would it be possible for me to file down the frets on the side of the fretboard enough so that they would no longer stick out or hurt my fingers? If so, what kind of tool would do the best job? (I prefer that I don't have to take it in to a guitar repair guy because of some bad experiences with them recently.) Anyone out there have any suggestions?
