Medium Fretwire

Highest quality 18% nickel-silver fretwire
Medium widths are used extensively by Martin, Fender and Gibson, and are the most popular fretwire sizes #0148 medium fretwire is our best seller.

Fretwire is made in a variety of crown heights. Note that after the frets are installed and leveled, they can lose from .004" to .010" in height. High fretwire has a crown height of .045" or more. It may offer more note sustain due to its slightly greater mass, and more fret dressings are possible between refrettings. Low fretwire is often useful for partial refret jobs. Our fretwire tang is sized to fit a 0.023" (0.58mm) fret slot width.

Order 6 feet for a guitar or bass, and 4 feet for a mandolin or banjo.
