  • Fret wire

    I have a Charvel 375 that I would like to replace the last 4 or 5 frets on, what size wire should I use?

    The best thing to do is to measure height and width of the other frets and find the most similar frets in the Dunlop catalogue...

    '97 Jackson RR1 Pile o'skulls
    '97 Gibson Les Paul Classic
    '92 Fender Strat scallop
    '97 BC Rich perfect Bich
    '99 Burns Brian May black beauty

      I've had guitars with mixed fretwire. Just like Jake E Lee, a good combo is wide jumbo 6100 up to fret twelve, then narrow jumbo 6105 up to the body. I have this setup on a 1963 SG Special and it rocks.

        Going by the Model Series specs in the old catalogs (and assuming the wire stayed the same for the toothpaste-logo guitars), the closest match is Dunlop 6110. Model Series wire was .114" x .051", and Dunlop 6110 is .115" x .050".
