Fender Japanのストラト、57年モデルに装着しました。少し高くて大きいフレットを付けて弾きやすくしようとも考えましたが、指板のRがきつくてそれに合わせることが難しいと考え、Rの合うこちらの商品を選びました。すると、さすが純正で、Rがぴったり合うことでプラスチックのハンマーで少し叩くだけでしっかりはまりました。実際、すり合わせもしておらず、ビビりが無いか確認しながら、ビビりがあったらハンマーで軽く叩けばすぐに解決でした。もちろん、すり合わせをしたほうがよりシビアに弦高設定なども出来るのでしょうが、個人的にはすり合わせ無しでも、全く気にならない状態でした。ただ、このフレットに限らず自分で交換して大変なのは、ネックから飛び出る端の部分の加工。どうしてもチクチクしてしまうためルーターで少しずつ削りましたが、けっこうな手間ではあります。Rが合うストラトの方には、おすすめです。

I have a friend who has built several guitars. I bought these for my tele project and hammered them in myself at home, clipped them and filed them. When he saw my neck to help me level it, he was highly impressed at the job I did. Not only that they were already radius'd, but they were very close to level already. Something you should know if you're new at fretting a guitar, they're cut for the lowest fret on the neck (wide) so you have to trim them. You should use a soft rubber mallet to install and a shot bag or rifle rest to cradle the neck. Don't hammer it with your head stock supporting the neck.

Did a refret for the first time with them on a neck that was totally unusable and now it plays very nicely. I am not a pro at guitar repair, but I did a lot of youtubing, and browsing forums and learned the basics and also ways to do things without spending a fortune on tools. The frets themselves are of good quality and having them pre cut and pre radiused was a big help.

Frets wire came in flawless no scratches of any kind and fit my 1987-89 Epiphone by Gibson S-900 really very well. Granted most of these guitars take the medium or jumbo fret wire with the original Epiphone Bennder Bridge, intonation was something that could be a bothersome problem to achieve. Although this guitar can take two other bridges such as; • Schaller Floyd Rose and the • Steinberger KB.Over all I am happy with and for the price you can't beat it either.

Worked well, I bought this because I only needed a small quantity but don't buy into the name. Frets are frets and fender doesn't run a metal forge. You can get more efficient use out of sticks or rolls of frets as they don't force you to waste like these do. Also, think twice before buying this vintage, THIN gauge. I did it for someone who wanted to throw their worn strat back another couple decades, for which it did a great job
