Herein, how do I choose a Fretwire?
Choosing fretwire size is a very personal choice and there is really no one size fits all solution. If you love vintage Fender guitars, you might feel at home with a vintage-style radius and a small fretwire size (and possibly stainless steel, so you don’t have to re-fret your vintage instrument down the line).
Consequently, how many feet of Fretwire do you need for one guitar? A: The number of guitars that can be done per pound of fret wire varies based on the size of the wire. Typically, a guitar can be done with between 5 and 6 feet of wire. If you go to our choosing fretwire page you will see that every size has a feet per pound column.

What Fretwire to use?
Narrow fretwire is very appropriate for short-scale instruments like mandolins, where the upper frets are close together, but it was also common on vintage Fender style instruments. However, narrow high frets can feel quite ‘bumpy’, so a wider high fret can be more comfortable to play.
