www Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Does anyone know where one can purchase brass frets, and does the brass wear so quick as to not be worth the trouble?? Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 No idea about wearing, but Dunlop has it thus there must be some use for it. http://www.jimdunlop.com/maintenence/fretchart.html Dunlop 6180 BRASS fretwire is sold in Germany by http://www.musik-produktiv.de No idea abt. the rest of the world.

Bingo328 Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Warmoth offers gold colored fretwire that is made with a brass alloy. According to them the brass only offers color and doesn't make it wear any quicker. If you could find some thats not pure brass wear shouldn't be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Riffer Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I think Fender uses some type of brass on there Mexican models. The wood around the fret ends on my Fat Strat is turning green and I'm assuming is because of sweat and brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
