Hey gents. Last week, I picked up a MIM Strat Standard. Upon bringing it home and playing unplugged, I noticed that I get a lot of grinding against the frets on the B and high E strings when bending (and I bend a lot). I figured it was just a new guitar thing and after a few days, the strings would wear in the top of the frets and all would be well.

However, I'm still having this problem. Examining the tops of the frets, I've noticed a lot of little "divets" in them (running horizontal against the fret; same direction as the string). I don't think they're necessarily being created by the strings; I'm assuming they've been there all along since the grinding has been there since I bought 'er. When doing bends, I guess it would be like traveling along speed bumps.

So, like, what do I do about these? I've never experienced this on any other guitar I bought new and would hate to dump more money into it since, well....it's supposed to be a new guitar (straight out of the box, matter of fact).
