Luthiers, repair shops and manufacturers rely on us for the highest quality 18% nickel-silver fretwire. We supply it in 2-foot straight lengths. We recommend ordering 6 feet for a complete guitar,or bass fret job, and 4 feet for a mandolin or banjo.
Fretwire height:
 Fretwire is available in a variety of crown heights. Keep in mind 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.
