Description: Everything you need to fret/re-fret a ukelele, small banjo, dulcimer, mandolin or other smaller stringed instrument! Here is a nice set of 6 feet of "Narrow/Low" fret wire -- narrow crown width and low crown height (see specs below) -- in handy 8-inch lengths*, which is more than enough for a ukelele or mandolin. You could probably get two smaller instruments out of it! This fret wire is designated as "narrow/low" due to the narrow crown width, and low crown height. This is premium American-made fret wire, so you know it's quality! In addition to the fret wire itself, this deal includes Ben Gitty's revised and expanded 158-page full-color fretting guide on CD (in PDF format), providing you with the know-how you need to make use of your fret wire. Why spend $30 or more on another fretting guide that goes way beyond the basics you need? The C.B. Gitty's Fretting Guide contains all of the key how-to that you need to do a high-quality fretting job, as well as many references for where to go for more information. This fret wire, and the techniques outlined in the guide, can be used on ukeleles, guitars, dulcimers, cigar box guitars and various other fretted stringed instruments. The 8-inch wire lengths allow you to easily cut the exact lengths you need. Here are the technical specs on this fret wire (see the photo diagram for more info): Crown Width: .053" (1.35mm) Crown Height: .037" (.94mm) Tang Depth: .054" (1.37mm) A slot width of .023" is recommended for this fret wire, but somewhat wider may work if you use glue to set the frets in. Be sure to measure the width, height and tang depth/width of your current frets before buying, to make sure this set will fit your intended usage! INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE READ... We ship packages via the U. S. Postal Service, either First Class Mail International or Priority Mail Internation. While these services generally get packages anywhere in the world in 1 to 2 weeks, sometimes it can take longer - this is almost always because the Customs Office in your country delays the package. In some cases it has taken up to 4 weeks for a package to be delivered. We will not consider an item as "lost" until at least 30 days have passed from the time of shipment. Also, you may be responsible for local customs duties and taxes depending on your country's laws. We mark package values honestly, as required by the laws of the United States, so please don't ask us to declare a false value, or declare a package as a gift. If you are an international buyer, please be aware of these realities BEFORE buying. Recycled Materials... We use recycled cardboard as packaging materials whenever possible. Those of you who care about the environment can appreciate the value of this, and everyone can appreciate the fact that it helps keep our prices lower since we don't have to buy new cardboard for packaging. This may mean that our packaging materials occasionally show some shipping scuffs, labels, printing or other markings, but used cardboard does the job just fine. Hopefully you will find a way to recycle it on your end too! Best Value vs. Cheapest Price... Whenever possible, we try to make sure we have the best price on eBay for the fret wire we offer. In the rare cases when another seller beats our price by a few pennies, we stand by our claim that our offer is the best VALUE on eBay. Not only do we take the time to make sure our listing is accurate, spell-checked and well-formatted, but we also include my "do's and don'ts" sheet, crammed full of tips and resources, and places you can go for more information. Finally, we are available by e-mail to answer questions as best we can for anyone who buys fret wire from us and needs advice. We certainly cannot answer every question authoritatively, but at the very least we can recommend where to go for more information. With C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply, you can be sure that your items will be well packaged, will ship within 1 business day of your order, and will get to you as fast as the United States Postal Service can deliver it.
