Hi all!!!

i just wanted some help for my strat. on the 12fth-14th frets on the 1st string, it frets out if i bend more than a semitone. i checked, the frets there seem to be pressed in well. what else could be the problem? if it is the frets, how could i press it in?

Thanks in advance

It could be a number of things.

Fret coming up
Neck out of adjustment
String height too low
Worn fret

I would let a tech look at it before I started "pressing" frets in or anything.

You could try a neck shim if the above answers don't work. I've found that even a folded "post-it" note in the pocket, can make a huge difference. Good luck with it!
