FW55090-S
Best frets ever....I used them for the last 3 refrets.....will not use anything else....they are the very forgiving...seem to blend well with smaller medium frets if you want to do a partial stainless refret. Perfect for people new to refretting....lots of metal to allow you to get a good level without getting the frets too low. I use a small file and level the individual high spots while strung up then go over all the frets with a radius block....the last two jobs took me about 45 minutes to get a good level. These are dynamite frets to work with.

I refret frequently....this fret wire is the most forgiving of any....if you don't get the fingerboard perfectly level you have lots of metal to be able to remove to get the frets level especially for that 14th fret hump stuff under tension. This is the perfect fret for new people to use. Don't worry about the stainless hardness...just use a dremel to cut and a file to level. I level individual high frets first with a fret kisser then use a big sanding file for the main level. The luthiers won't be able to complain about stainless anymore

thanks

Jescar Stainless Steel Fretwire FW55090-S Electric Medium/Wide Pre-radiused
The quality of the wire is excellent. The pre-radiusing was not very consistent. I pre radius sanded using full length aluminum sanders. A handful of frets did not seat fully due to over radiusing. Resulted in more finish work to level.

Great wire available in different radii. What's not to like? will order more in the future

Jescar Stainless Steel Fretwire FW55090-S Electric Medium/Wide Pre-radiused
Great stuff. Requires fewer tools and the radius is very consistent.

Excellent
I order these for a rather abused Peavey Wolfgang. They radiused them to 15" and it was such a good job little leveling was required. Definitely the frets for my next project.

Great Frets!
Love the fell of Stainless Steel frets when bending.

Narrow and tall.
First time diy refret on a traveler speedster guitar went surprisingly well. I was expecting it to be a lot more difficult but the frets made it easy. Kinda rough on tools at least end nippers being Ss. Did everything with a few files and a rubber mallet. Strings glide over the surface of the fret, fingers don't touch the fret-board anymore, love it.
