Jescar Nickel Silver Fretwire Acoustic Medium (37080-NS)
Product Description
This premium JESCAR ACOUSTIC MEDIUM stainless steel fret wire is a perfect upgrade to your guitar! Stainless Steel is just about the hardest type of fretwire you can get, and people who use it say it gives a silkier, smoother feel when playing than does nickel-silver fret wire.
This wire set comes in 25 pcs of 7cm lengths, pre-radiused on a ~10" radius basis, which will help keep those ends down when you are installing it. The size of this wire is about as big as it gets, with the widest crown width and highest crown height - see the exact specs below. This wire will fit nicely into a .023" fret slot, which is pretty much the standard for most modern fret wires.
There is also an option to buy 2ft lengths. You will need 2 pcs of 2ft frets
It can be used on acoustic. Stainless Steel fret wire does take more attention to detail than standard nickel-silver fret wire, and is not necessarily the best choice for the first-time fretter. Best is to bring your guitar to a certified guitar tech (See list below)

- Crown Height: .037" (.94 mm)
