USA Stratocaster refret in Sintoms jumbo wire

Last week I refretted this maple board Stratocaster with huge wire – 0.057″ high.

I removed the old frets, left the finish intact and laid the new frets onto the strips bare wood that were exposed.

I used Sintoms fretwire which was an absolute pleasure to work with. It held the slot tightly and the undercut on the body meant that it seated beautifully in the finish-free channel.
