Narrow Fretwire


Highest quality 18% nickel-silver fretwire
Narrow fretwire sizes were used on pre-World War II acoustic guitars and are used on modern banjos, mandolins and dulcimers.

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.

Buy the pounders!

The tubes they come in are nicely labled and keep the fretwire straight and clean until your ready to snip 'em up.

Refret job

Replaced my old Deering Banjo frets that were plum wore out, its fine and dandy now with these new ones. I do my own fret work.
