EVO fretwire
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2026 11:51 pm
When I started building, I chose to use EVO fretwire, because it was supposedly harder than nickel silver, but not as hard to work with as stainless. And I like the gold colour. Now, it is no longer available, because apparently the company producing the alloy stopped making it. Has anyone found an alternative? Any rumours from the industry? Anyone tried Hosco phosphor bronze fretwire (I am trying it on a guitar that will need fretting soon)? Bruce W.
