What Stands Out
Product Details
- Stainless steel frets are slow to wear or develop grooves, so you get smooth string bends for years longer
- Unlike traditional fretwire, you don't need to "overbend" stainless steel wire - curve it to your fretboard radius, and it stays put (which means less fret leveling)
- For acoustic or electric guitar - combines extra width with extra crown height
- Sized to fit a 0.023" (0.58mm) fret slot width
- Supplied in convenient clear storage tubes, to keep your wire organized and your workbench uncluttered

Product Description
About This Item
Introducing StewMac Stainless Steel Fretwire, the perfect choice for guitarists and luthiers who demand durability, longevity, and exceptional craftsmanship. Crafted to the highest standards, this medium-higher stainless steel fretwire offers a superior playing experience and will revolutionize the way you approach fretting. Our bulk fretwire is supplied in convenient clear storage tubes, ensuring your wire stays organized and your workbench uncluttered. By ordering fretwire by the pound, you can save 50% or more, making it an economical choice for your instrument-building or repair projects. Why choose stainless steel fretwire over traditional options? The benefits are remarkable: 1.
Enhanced Longevity: Stainless steel frets are slow to wear down, offering you more miles between refrets. Say goodbye to frequently bending strings and hello to smooth string bends for years longer. What's more, some players report a slightly brighter tone when using stainless steel frets. 2.
Effortless Fret Jobs: Unlike traditional fretwire, stainless steel wire doesn't require excessive bending. Simply curve it to your fretboard radius, and it stays put. The frets fit snugly into their slots, minimizing the likelihood of them popping up.
With less fret leveling required, your fret jobs will be executed with ease and precision. Our medium fretwire is the most popular width for both acoustic and electric guitars, trusted and used extensively by renowned guitar manufacturers such as Martin, Fender, and Gibson. If you're aiming to match that classic Gibson® jumbo fretwire from the late '50s, our medium-width fretwire is the perfect solution. Here are the size specifications: - Fret Width: .092 (2.34mm) - Fret Crown: .048 (1.22mm) - Fret Tang Height: .062 (1.57mm) - Sized to fit a 0.023 (0.58mm) fret slot width You'll be pleased to know that our fretting tools are fully compatible with our stainless-steel fretwire. With the exception of our Fret Tang Nippers, all our tools work perfectly well, ensuring a seamless fret installation process.
We have meticulously designed our wire to minimize premature wear of files and sandpaper in your workshop, guaranteeing longevity for both your tools and your fretwire. For your convenience, we supply our fretwire in 2-foot straight lengths. For a complete guitar or bass fret job, we recommend 6 feet of fretwire. This will give you the freedom to work on multiple instruments or have extra fretwire on hand for future projects. Experience the unmatched quality and precision of StewMac Stainless Steel Fretwire.
Elevate your fretting game and ensure your instrument delivers the best performance year after year. Don't compromise on quality - choose StewMac Stainless Steel Fretwire and take your instrument to new heights.
