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.

Another luthier essential....

I would not be without a stock of fretwire from StewMac. Great information on dimensions, with solid recommendations for which size to use with which type of instrument.

excellence all round

purchased the medium/high fretwire (0141lb) and couldn't be happier with not only the product but the service/delivery was outstanding.....took about 5 days to come which is better than when I get things shipped locally around new zealand

152 Fretwire

This was my first full fret job. The 152 fretwire was very forgiving and left plenty of material for my inexperienced self to get a feel for leveling and dressing. I am very satisfied with the end result!

Great product

The fret wire arrived quickly and in perfect condition.
It cuts easily and files smoothly.
I'll only use this product on my cigar box guitars now!

148 fretwire

I use #148 on all of my guitars unless a customer asks for something else and that just does not happen! 148 is the perfect height and still gives plenty of room for leveling and the tang is the perfect size. Great metal....they last a long time!!
