Jescar Fret Wire 2.03 mm Nickel Silver FW43080-217-NS Roll 450 g

This Jescar FW43080-217-NS fret wire is made of nickel silver and comes coiled for convenient use in instrument building and repair. With a crown width of 0.080" (2.03 mm), a crown height of 0.043" (1.09 mm), and a tang width of 0.0217" (0.55 mm), it is ideal for acoustic and electric guitars requiring a medium fret profile.

This fretwire is considered medium, offering a balance between comfort and precision. Compared to the standard FW37080 model, this version features a slightly wider and deeper tang, offering better grip in the fret slot and making it particularly well-suited for refret work.

Manufactured in the USA, Jescar's nickel silver fret wire provides an excellent balance between durability and workability, making it a preferred choice among luthiers for high-performance instruments.

Note: Nickel silver is an alloy of copper, nickel (18%), and zinc, commonly used in fret manufacturing for its wear resistance and bright tonal response.
