What fretwire for my custom?

Hexer · 08-07-2006, 03:41 PM

what type of fretwire should I order my custom 7 with?
what type does my RG7620 have and what difference will it make to get something smaller/larger?
I've never really cared to get info on fret-wires so far.....

standard-options are:

Gotoh - standard
Dunlop 6000
Dunlop 6100
Dunlop 6105
Dunlop 6110
Dunlop 6130
Dunlop 6150
Dunlop 6230

just a good jumbo feeling fretwire...

Hexer · 08-07-2006, 04:47 PM

am I right saying that 6100 is pretty much a standard?

so what difference would larger/smaller wire make for me? and which of those are larger and which are smaller?

did you rule out stainless Steel? and why?

Hexer · 08-07-2006, 04:56 PM

I havent ruled out anything so far, I just listed what the standard-options in the custom-order-quote are. I'm pretty shure I could also get something else

stainless steel frets are supposed to sound brighter and last longer if I got it right? are they available in the same sizes?

6100 is as near as damn it the same as what's on RG7's ('Jumbo',as they call them).

The numbers are originally Dunlop fretwire sizes and it tends to vary very slightly from maker to maker.

6105 is about the same height but thinner.That's what's on Jems and JS-series guitars.

I like 6100 on 7's personally and that's what most people use.

i like 6100's on everything, i even put them on my acoustic

6100's own but I'd like the frets that Todd Keehn uses on his guitars, right Adam?
