This gold fret wire is absolutely beautiful, a perfect finishing touch for your special build or re-fretting job! It is gold all the way through, so it can be filed, crowned and otherwise dressed as much as necessary. It especially looks good on a darker fret board, so that the contrast is greater, but it also looks nice on lighter fret boards.This wire set comes in nine (9) 8" lengths, pre-radiused on a 9" radius basis, which will help keep those ends down when you are installing it. It is somewhat harder than standard 18% nickel-silver fret wire, so it will last longer too! The size of this wire is a good "medium" gauge, with middle-of-the-road crown height, crown width and tang depth - 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.I also include a 2-page sheet of fretting "do's and don'ts" to help the first-time fretter get started, at no extra charge!Can be used on banjos, guitars, dulcimers, cigar box guitars and various other fretted stringed instruments. The 8-inch lengths allow you to easily cut the exact lengths you need.Here are the technical specs on this fret wire (see the photo diagram for more info):Total Fret Height: .093" (2.36mm) Crown Height: .043" (1.09mm) Crown Width: .080" (2.03mm) Tang Width .020" (.510mm)
