Customer Reviews
Loving the Hosco frets, arrived quick as always. Love ordering from NorthWest Guitars!!
Arrived swiftly in the post,
I used these on a 5 course bouzouki build and they fitted nice and snug in the fret slots and didnt have any issue installing these into a 16" radius btw....colour looks great and gives a nice contrast on a royal blackwood fretboard,be interesting to see how they fare when i get it fully setup and playing.
Thanks
Excellent fretwire,precut saves so much time. Would be even better if they were in order. 10 inch radius is good for most fretboards helping the fret ends stay in place
These look the business and I'm glad I chose this as a slightly different alternative to steel or nickel as they have a slightly rose gold colouration. No idea about hardness/longevity yet but they seem slightly easier to file than stainless steel so I guess a little bit softer. One note though about the length - obviously they come pre-cut for specific fretboard dimensions and my fretboard was probably very slightly wider at the body end than what might be considered 'standard' in this case, so I had to make absolutely sure that the fret ends fully overlapped the fretboard before tapping them in. There was *very* little overhang at each end by the time I got up to the body end (<0.5mm at each end) so just watch out for this when installing. Check twice, hammer once!
Easy to fit and finish, wish all frets were like this.
