  • For electric guitar or bass


Wide/Highest size fretwire for electric guitar or bass. Our Wide/Highest is a modern "jumbo" fretwire used on ESP, Jackson, Ibanez, Kramer and similar guitars. Instrument makers and repair shops rely on us for the highest quality 18% nickel-silver fretwire.

StewMac Wide/Highest 46-foot pack comes in 2-foot long straight pieces, delivered in a clear storage tube that keep your wire organized and your workbench uncluttered.

Fret Width: .110" (2.79mm)

Fret Crown: .053" (1.35mm)

Fret Tang Height: .074" (1.88mm)

Our fretwire is sized to fit a 0.023" (0.58mm) fret slot width.

Fretwire is made in a variety of crown heights. Note that after the frets are installed and leveled, they can lose from .004" to .010" in height. High fretwire has a crown height of .045" or more. It may offer more note sustain due to its slightly greater mass, and more fret dressings are possible between refrettings. Low fretwire is often useful for partial refret jobs.

Great fretwire! I used it to refret a Gibson guitar that was my grandfathers! The guitar came out great and plays amazing.
