This is a carry over from the discussion about ss fret wire.
My wife plays a Taylor 12-string guitar so we get their Wood & Steel mag. In the ' Ask Bob ' section of the recent issue a reader asks about the availability of ss fret wire in Taylor guitars. Bob responded that they had made a run of a couple of dozen guitars but something was wrong with the tone. They suspected the fret wire and replaced the frets, one at a time, with their normal wire. According to Bob in each and every case the tone returned to normal. Do any of builders have any experiance with this wire? If so can you tell a differance in tone? I Know the wire is not readily available for mandolins but this caught my interest. Thanks.
