Northwest Guitars Stainless Steel Fret Pack - 2.7mm x 1.7mm

Northwest Guitars stainless steel fretwire is designed for builders and players who demand long-lasting performance and exceptional tone. Crafted from 304CU stainless steel — the most widely used stainless steel grade worldwide — these frets offer a tighter grain structure and smoother surface than traditional alloys, providing a highly polished feel under the fingers.

Known for its superior corrosion and wear resistance, 304CU stainless steel requires minimal maintenance. Unlike traditional nickel-silver frets, it rarely needs re-polishing or refretting, even after years of use. Its strong hardness also means it delivers crisp, articulate tone with excellent sustain and clarity, making it especially well-suited for mid-range electric guitars and basses.

Each piece is precision-cut for a standard fretboard with no undercut, for a clean fit on unbound necks. Ideal for both new builds and professional refrets, Northwest Guitars stainless steel fretwire combines durability, precision, and tonal excellence.
