For my first build, I used the "Small" fret wire available at Stew Mac, but for my second, I'd like to use bigger fret wire. Is what I see most frequently used on modern mandolins the SM "Medium"? If so, the size listed on the SM site is .080" to .095" ... (https://www.stewmac.com/luthier-tool...-fretwire.html)
I was looking on International Violin (I have some things to order from there) and they carry what they call Accu Fret wire with dimensions listed: 0.109" Width 0.036" height (https://www.internationalviolin.com/...archtop-nickel)
Is that comparable to the SM medium?... Has anyone used this fret wire? Is it good stuff or no?
Looking for the knowledge of the mando luthier collective.
Thanks in advance!
