Re: Fret Material / Type Differences
I don't believe that the material frets are made of has a meaningful affect on the sound but the difference in playing feel may be noticeable. Materials like stainless steel are hard to work with but they’ll last longer than any other material. The fret size similarly affects feel much more than sound. Honestly, unless you’re a journeyman player you probably won’t be able to tell one from another by anything but size and appearance.
