Fender MIJ Vintage-Style Guitar Fret Wire (Pack of 24)

Vintage-Style Fret Wire for Compatible Guitar Refrets and Repairs

The Fender MIJ Vintage-Style Guitar Fret Wire pack includes 24 pre-cut, pre-radiused frets for guitar fingerboard repair or refret work. Made in Japan from 18 percent nickel-silver alloy, this fret wire is designed to provide a clear response while matching the style used on compatible Fender instruments.

Each fret is pre-radiused to 5.25" for use with guitar fingerboards that have a 7.25" radius. That pre-radiusing helps the fret wire sit closer to the intended fingerboard curve before installation, which can make repair work more consistent when handled by an experienced technician.

The vintage-style dimensions measure .039" tall, .084" wide and 2 13/16" long, giving the frets a lower, narrower feel than larger modern fret formats. Compared with jumbo or medium jumbo wire, vintage-style fret wire tends to feel more traditional under the fingers and can suit players who prefer a closer connection to the fingerboard during chord work and lighter articulation.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this fret wire pack is best for players and repairers working on compatible vintage-style guitars where correct fret size, radius and Made in Japan Fender specification matter to the repair.
