So I have a 2022 Fender Player (Mexican) Strat that I’ve been tinkering on as it’s not so pricey that I’m afraid to work on it. One issue that I have is that string bends are not smooth, if anything bending a string is almost like the fretboard is sticky. It’s a maple fretboard, clean no gunk buildup. I use 10 gauge strings, action is just fine. Is this possibly a sign that the frets need dressed or polished? Any thoughts? @Andy Eagle ? Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
