StewMac Gold Fretwire, Wide/Pyramid, 2-foot piece
Unique pyramid profile for electric guitar or bass. A little extra height, and a unique profile with sloped sides.
Get longer life and a new look from your frets.
Gold fretwire is durable, easy to work with, and adds a unique style to your builds.
For many years, your choices in fretwire were very limited. Nickel-silver has been used for decades, but it tarnishes and wears over time. Some prefer the extreme long life of stainless steel, but it can be hard on your tools and difficult to install. Now we've discovered a new material that has the best for both materials: it combines durability, easy workability, and an attractive look.
We supply our fretwire in 2-foot straight lengths. Order 6 feet for a complete guitar or bass fret job, and 4 feet for a mandolin, banjo or ukulele.
Our fretwire is sized to fit a 0.023" (0.58mm) fret slot width.
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.
