FRET WIRE SIZE
CHOOSING A FRET SIZE:
Fret size has a great deal to
do with the action of your guitar. Low frets put your fingertips right on the
fingerboard with little room to squeeze the strings out of tune or to get under
them from bending. Tall frets are the opposite. The width of the fret determines
the amount of ware that can be expected before leveling and re-crowning is
necessary. Wider frets wear longer. Narrow frets ware faster. Choosing a fret size
is best done by experience. Do you like the feel of your present neck? Would you
like more height or less height? Shop and compare to see which is best for you.
