This is a way that works but is looking really bad after. I by myself use
an old wound string to polish the string groove. Apply as much as power
you can give. You will realize a moment the string will slide very easy.
The process is done then. You should use different diameters of wound
strings corresponding to size of the groove. Finally you should control
the edge to the fretbord. This may not be sharp but a little bit round,
otherwise the string could be caught by this or may even be damaged.
Hope this helps.
Greetings Matthias
