Just wondering how these are on an uncoated fretless rosewood board? I know people are often strongly on either side of the fence about how much of a problem strings chewing on a fingerboard is. Just wondering whether they are particularly harsh or better than most SS strings? Cheers.

I use Sun Beams on my fretless. It has a macassar ebony fingerboard. I have to have it resurfaced once a year. I would imagine stainless steel on rosewood would wear a bit faster.
