EB fret material

What does EB use for their frets? Stainless or nickle steel?

as I recall they use nickel, but you never know what one-offs may exist out there.

All of our standard fretwire is made from good 'ol nickel silver. We've tested some stainless, but as of now we haven't decided to bring it into production. It's much harder to level and crown than nickel silver... but it bends like nothing else..

I heard they used silicone. Less harmful to the body.
