I'm doing a partial refret for a friend, but can't find wire big enough at the usual suppliers.
I don't really want to do a full refret. The bass wire I have is way too small!
Anyone know where I can find fretwire with a crown of .063" & width of .105"?
Fingers crossed... Dan

That is some tall wire.
Here is a chart with a lot of wire sizes from different manufaturers. Didn't see one that tall but maybe it will help.

Dan,

I have Jumbo wire. I hink it is .105 wide but I can't remember how tall. I am in Manitoba right now but will be home late next week if you still need it.
