do cobalt strings wear frets?

Standard capos won't work on sevenstring guitars (at least not on all strings). But most capos will have the right size to work on almost any normal sixstring guitar. Some capos (e.g. Dunlop Trigger) just press down the strings with a spring, which can be very quickly released with one hand.

Steel frets are very hard wearing, but are considerably more expensive to fit. Typically a guitar refret will cost between $200 and $400. A fretdress, as part of a set-up typically costs between $50 and $100, and will solve most problems, without the need for a refret.

It's not uncommon for an electric guitar to have a few frets that buzz, especially if the action is set low. ... Because of style preferences, some players are fine with a little buzz as long as their action is as low as possible, others find even a little buzz distracting and uncomfortable.

Going Cobalt There's more wriggling around going on at the high end and a noticeable sense of depth compared to regular slinkys, say, along with a more pliable feel to the strings themselves. You get more definition to your notes and more response from the guitar, as if it's taken a gulp of fresh air.

It won't be money wasted, they are excellent strings, I just happen to prefer the sound of my beloved Ernie Ball M Steel strings! Your guitar deserves quality strings, so you owe it to your axe and to yourself to see if you get a better result when using these strings.
