Okay, I'll do that. I actually just noticed that if I run my fingernail across where the string lays on the saddle, it actually kind of scratches my fingernail, it feels like sandpaper or running my nail across a blade of a knife.

What causes this to happen, just wear I assume? If wasn't like this when I bought the guitar.
