    Default Collings MT2 Fret Wire

    I will be replacing the fretwire on my Collings MT2 and am interested in which supplier and what size wire would be the best match. The Collings website lists the size as:

    crown width: 2 mm
    crown height: 1.10 mm
    Total height 2.60 mm
    Tang width: 0.80 mm

    Thanks in advance to anyone who has been down this road and can give me some directions.

    That could be Jescar 43080, but I don't know for sure what they use on the mandolins.

    That is basically standard acoustic guitar fret wire, or large mandolin wire.
