●Stainless steel frets are slow to wear or develop grooves, so you get smooth string bends for years longer


Description

We supply our fretwire in straight (unbent) 2-foot lengths. This pack includes 3 pieces, for a total of 6 feet of wire — just the right amount to complete a guitar or bass fret job.

Our most popular fretwire sizes, now in stainless steel! Everyone loves stainless for its durability and longevity, plus its easy to work with.

Reasons to choose stainless fretwire over traditonal fretwire include:

• Get more miles between refrets — Stainless steel frets are slow to wear or develop grooves, so you get smooth string bends for years longer. Some players hear a slightly brighter tone with stainless.
• Easier fret jobs — Unlike traditional fretwire, you dont need to "overbend" stainless steel wire. Curve it to your fretboard radius, and it stays put. The frets fit their slots without popping up, so less fret leveling is required.

Wide fretwire is favored for string bending and is used on many modern electric guitars and basses. Modern "jumbo" fretwire used on ESP, Jackson, Ibanez, Kramer and similar guitars.

Our fretting tools work well with stainless: All of our fretting tools are suitable for use on stainless-steel fretwire, with the exception of our Fret Tang Nippers. In our own shop, we find that this wire doesnt cause premature wear of files and sandpaper.
