These 9.5-inch-radius nickel silver guitar frets can give your instrument a new lease of life during a complete or partial refret. Pre-bent to a 9.5-inch radius, they make installation easier and reduce the adjustments needed in the workshop. This format is particularly suitable for modern electric guitars and many acoustic models.

Each length of 9.5-inch-radius nickel silver guitar fretwire measures 240 mm. This length can provide several frets, depending on the scale length and fretboard width. For a 22-fret guitar, you should generally allow for 6 lengths. For a 24-fret guitar, 7 lengths are recommended to provide a comfortable working margin.

These 9.5-inch-radius nickel silver guitar frets are made from nickel silver, an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc. This material offers a good balance of durability, ease of installation and playing comfort. Unlike stainless steel, it is easier to cut, press and file, reducing the time needed for refretting.

The crown is 2.7 mm wide and 1 mm high. This is a versatile standard profile. It provides good playing precision without feeling excessively prominent under the fingers. The tonal response remains balanced, with a clear attack and definition suited to rock, blues and jazz.

Nickel silver guitar frets also have the advantage of being quick to polish. After levelling, a few passes with an abrasive rubber or polishing compound are enough to achieve a perfectly smooth surface. This finish improves bending comfort and playing precision.

Nickel silver guitar frets are suitable for both repairs and new builds. They fit into a standard, reliable and repeatable approach to guitar making. Their pre-bent shape reduces material waste and makes preparing radiused fretboards easier.

Choosing pre-bent nickel silver guitar frets therefore helps optimise installation time while retaining a material valued for its balance of performance, cost and ease of working.
