Musiclily Stainless Steel 2.9mm Guitar Fret Wires 24 Frets Fretwire Set for Fender Strat Tele Electric Guitar Bass, Chrome

Tried them first on an original pre Warmoth (Boogie Bodies) 45 year old flame maple neck with Birdseye maple Board.WOW! Smooth, Slick, hardly any leveling needed. Installed clean, and will stay on that neck forever.Next was another 40 year old Brazilian Rosewood Board Warmoth oldie. Same result, and the job went even quicker.The next few were old amber Mighty Mites; PERFECT! Everyone. Nothing feels like a worn finish piece of hard maple with the fastest smoothest slickest and brightest frets you can imagine.Now 1 am on my 7th installation. I am putting them on every one of my personal line of Boutique instruments, and all my clients LOVE them!One of my luthier partners who lives in another country I visit frequently and does custom work for me has asked me to pay him in sets of these rather than cash because he also loves 'em, but unfortunately so does his local customs authority, who levy a 100% import duty fee on them. So every time go, I take him 5 sets or more.I am now ordering 50 sets, 10 at a time.100% Stainless steel. Not the highest carbon ratio you will find in your big kitchen knives to be sure, but more than enough to give them the desired hardness, slickness and tonal ring. (yes, there is that trademark stainless steel bright zing if correctly and flush seated in the fret slot)If you plan on doing more than 1 neck save yourself and your old nipper and invest in a high carbon steel nipper. It is the only custom tool you really need, and only if you plan on doing several necks. They are pre-cut, semi pre bent, and definitely binding trimmed. Oh joy!BTW: I am a private custom builder for over 40 years.Cheers & Beers!

The media could not be loaded. Really nice and big. As you can see they clipped the end parts, really nice. Can’t wait to set them on my guitar. Will update when set on my guitar

Nice tone, very hard material!

Awesome

well I am vary happy with these frets Stainless steel frets are the only way to go and these are cut great for guitars with binding and they work great for ones without as well for the money they are a great value and a huge time saver

These are very nice, cut and formed nicely, so 5 stars. Best to use a grindstone wheel (eg on a Dremmel) to grind length to fit. Being steel, they spark when grinding (normal fret material doesn't). That said, I'm keeping them for some time in the future to actually use them, maybe when I feel a little braver, as these puppies are just to hard to work with normal fretting tools, and I'm worried about how well they'll bend to conform to the curvature of my compound radius fretboard.

A quality product but, being steel instead of nickle, they are difficult to work with and do not file, bend or cut easy.

I use these 2.9mm precut fret wire for the zero nut on my cigar box guitars I custom manufacture.They are of high quality and are tapered in width for presumably, use on a bass guitar.
