PRS fret wire size?
« on: August 22, 2011, 12:53:27 AM »
Not sure if this should be here or not but I'm wondering what size fret wire do PRS use on their custom 24s?

Assuming it's the same size as they use on McCartys and Miras, it's a medium jumbo - fairly wide, fairly tall but not massive.  I'd guess similar to Dunlop 6150 size?

Phil's right.  The closest fret wire is Dunlop 6150  :)
