New Frets

The new frets have arrived. I chose Fender Vintage Fret Wire for a couple of reasons: they are very close in size to the old frets, they are pre-cut into 2-1/2" pieces, and most importantly pre-bent for 7-1/4" radius necks. This will save me a lot of time (and money since fret benders, fret tang nippers, and fret fitters are not cheap). I got these from Angela Instruments Online. Yeah, I bought two sets. They weren't expensive and I've found that it's a good idea to have extras on hand whenever possible. I don't have a lot of spare time so weekends are usually when I get to do this stuff. So if I have to order something, that usually means a delay until the following weekend even if I get the part(s) quickly.
