Re: .053 stainless fret wire
Do you have an idea why someone would wear down EVO wire in two years? Do you think they just press down much harder then most individuals or that they just play so much that it is caused bu "normal" wear? I'd like to ask that person how many sets of strings he kills in two years because the wire is what is wearing down the frets.
Maybe if Jescar got an inkling of how popular that size wire is in stainless they might go for a batch of 0.053 (I assume that is the CW?)-- what height did you want it in? I just put some nickel FW05078 wire (from Jescar direct I think) on two mandolins and found that you really have to build a tall nut to clear it properly ( I like 0.013" action on the first fret). But I like the playability.
