Source of Fretwire

Post by sirmyghin »

Hey all,

Anyone able to tell me the source of G&L Fretwire? Is it Jescar or someone else?

per the G&L website (Guitar Options page):

Vintage frets (Dunlop 6230) Note that Medium Jumbo (Dunlop 6100) frets are standard on all G&L guitar models

So, Will nailed it as to the source.

Hope this helps.

Thanks I figured I would ask as, although dunlop sizes are listed, I have seen places that list a dunlop size but are not using a dunlop source (as they are common go to for sizes)

The other place to buy fretwire is, of course, Stew-Mac.

Beginning sometime in 2015, G&L changed to using Jescar fretwire, see: G&L Frets?.
