Frets and Fretwire

Frets are a key part of the fingerboard on every fretted guitar, significantly affecting both playing comfort and intonation accuracy. As an integral part of the fingerboard, they allow you to produce clean notes and resonant chords by pressing down the string precisely. A narrow, low fret provides a traditional feel, a medium fret is versatile, and a jumbo fret makes string bending easier, while a harder material extends service life at the cost of more demanding workmanship.

Without quality frets, playing would be difficult and imprecise because they define the exact vibrating length of the string. The material of the fret wire from which they are made directly affects the instrument's tonal character and service life, something guitarists across all musical genres will appreciate.
