brums Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I'm a j45 Mahogany owner, and my sweet Sunburst friend needs a partial refret. First 3/4 frets are gone away, in fact. I called Gibson Customer Service, to know the frets type for my guitar and CS Gibson said.......... We use .038” tall by .80” wide on most of our models except the Lennon or 160 which we use .060” tall by .110” wide well how I do, to obtain that fret type ?? Stewart Mac Donald has a different type on his catalogue....... help me.................................thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Stew-Mac's standard #148 is close enough. It's a tiny bit taller but you want to have that wiggle room for final levelling and crowning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't Gibson retail original fretwire ? uhm.......It's strange thing...that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I buy Stew-Mac #148 by the pound. It's good stuff. All you need is one stick (2 ft) but I don't know what they'd charge you for shipping. It comes in straight pieces so you will need some way to radius it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
