Where to find non pre-cut dunlop SS fretwire, and maple veneer for a V?

[197666]

Looking for uncut SS fretwire per requested by 'my guy'. He would rather radius the wire since it's a compound radius.

And I need veneer for a V job I'm working on, looking for two pieces that are 20" tall and at least 8" wide.

Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I ordered my SS fretwire from Allparts.

Doesn't Stewmac sell SS frets?

No, Stewmac refuses to carry the stuff.

I get stuff from Allparts as well, but I like the wire that LMI carries better. Although I will say that Allparts has more size variety than LMI. Allparts sells it in straight lenths, LMI sells in a coil.

As far as tops go, I usually get mine from Northridge Hardwoods Luke is a great guy and will get larger sizes for you, you just need to ask.

Man was I pissed the one time I ordered fretwire from LMI and it came in a coil. What the hell man, not Ive gotta straighten it, just to re-radius it! Ill never order wire from them again.

I order from them often; I just run it through my fret bender and it takes care of it for me.
