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.

just the right height and width

I like this wire cause its tall but narrower than my strat.So its easier to play in the higher part of the neck without fretting out when you bend the notes.

not bad

Was a perfect match for the job I had to do (guy didn't want a complete refret as he never leaves the first 4 frets, which were wore right in to the fretboard).

Havn't had any problems yet, have extra left overs so I think I'll use it in a mandolin or something.
