jescar gold . fretwire.
Well radiused and easy to install. I've enjoyed using this fretwire on a few repairs. And customers love the feel. One customer did say that the frets were so smooth that the capo couldn't keep it in tune. Didn't understand why...just thought I'd let you know.

Jescar, EVO Gold Fretwire
I have done two re-frets using the Jesco Gold wire so far, and I really like working with it. It's certainly harder the Nickel Silver, and very different to work with. on Bound fingerboards, I find it works best with a fret tang filer (LMII) rather than fret tang nippers. The material files, and sands (fret leveling) quickly and easily. It is far less likely to get dented when using a brass fret hammer, and in fact my last fret, on a newly flattened fingerboard required almost no leveling. I like the look of it, and, I think the harder it contributes to the tone, or clarity of the fretted notes.

Great!
I used this to refret a Martin DM that had seen a lot of abuse. I wanted more durable frets but I was concerned that SS would be too hard as I am a novice. These frets were perfectly radiused making installation a breeze. I did not find this material any more challenging to work with than traditional nickel silver. I was also concerned that the gold color would look too gaudy but it looks more like the color of the wound strings than the brilliant gold pictured above, and from a foot or so away you would never know that they are not nickel.
