I think you are right rob.
I'm asking for a mate who wants a refret.

It's 6105 SS fret wire that I had istalled on my Special.
My mate in Swansea did an incredible job.. doesn't even look like a refret !!

Cool - I'm just wondering what fretwire is "closest to stock", that can be bought by Joe Public?

Probably be best to get an answer from the factory, but 6105 is "narrow and tall" according to Warmoth. When you go to this link, click on "fret size" on the left and a little chart comes up. Warmoth Custom Guitar Parts - Guitar Necks Page

Sir Spud,
I used 6105 on a couple of Warmoth builds I did a few years back and I found it to be really comfortable. Ultimately, it will come down to player preference though.

I bought 6105 stainless steel fret wire.
I'm so impressed with this guitar I don't play my others.. when you see them, you won't believe they stay in the house !

Hi Pug - nice to hear from you.
It's just that my mate wants to source the same fretfire that comes on the EB Axis/Silo/AL = I may try contacting CS to see if the info is freely available.

Hey Spud,
In the years I've been here, I don't recall ever seeing anyone from EBMM confirm a fretwire size when the question is posed. They reference the sizes as, for example: high profile - medium width, etc. on the website, but not by specific manufacturer or wire #. May even make their own - they do do a lot of business extruding metal for guitars - I'm guessing they prefer to keep that proprietary. Don't know if they would get more specific if you inquire to CS privately, but they may. Good luck
