Standard Nickel/Silver Fret Wire
We offer only quality fret wire drawn from the finest 18% hard nickel/silver to give long life with steel strings. The composition of this fret
wire, while called "nickel/silver", contains no silver at all. The ingredients are brass and nickel. Apparently, 18% nickel is sufficient to
make brass look silver! For general reference we use Dunlop's fret numbers, however, actual fret dimensions vary somewhat from
batch to batch.
Item Number Width X Height Description
6100 .112" X .055" Huge! This is big stuff for the almost scalloped feel.
6105 .096" X .047" Narrow and tall. A very popular choice.
6130 .106" X .036" Often referred to as "Medium Jumbo". This is the size found on many Gibson necks.
6230 .080" X .043" This is the smallest fret wire. Used in older Fender necks.
6150 .103" X .046" A true "Jumbo". It is about the same width as the 6130 but a bit taller.
Stainless Steel Fret wire
Stainless Steel Fret Wire is available! If you want an extra slick feel along with super smooth bending and playability, this is the "stuff"!
Stainless steel is harder and it's life expectancy is much longer than our standard fret wire. Try it. You'll love it!
Item Number Width X Height Description
SS6105 .102" X .049" A true "Jumbo". It is about the same width as the 6130 but a bit taller. POPULAR!

Gold Color Fret Wire
New Gold colored fret wire is a tough copper alloy without Nickel and the color is similar to 12k Gold in appearance. This is not the
same brass color as Warwick wire. This is not just a "plating". It is solid throughout. It's very rich looking wire.
Item Number Width X Height Description
61GD .090" X .055" Narrow and quite tall.
