Hey Denny, looks like you aren't using your pinky enough
cheers

the little finger was involved in a severe accident a few years ago that also almost crushed my knuckles all the way across, got luck there but... (had about 5 hrs of surgery time at UC Davis Med Center), it won't straighten out nor will it close all the way against my hand. I do have feeling in it but the muscle control is pretty random, The tendons were cut where the finger attaches to the palm and the tip was broken, so lay off Brit.

Just played for about an hour straight and checked my fingers.  Nothing.

It has to be a body chemistry thing or maybe what is used on the wrap for the wound strings, maybe?  I used to get some black marks back when I used stainless steel strings for a while on electric guitar.  Well, I'd get them the first day or so, anyway.

Grooves in the fingers though?  Nope.  Guess I'm just not a groovy kinda guy.  LOL  Maybe I'll check again sometime right after I've sanded off the calluses.

Just so you feel like a regular member of the group here, you might try some Red Label strings.  I think they are guaranteed to make finger lines or even inflict wounds.

Cheap too ! 

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
