    Am. Series Strat: Wire Size?

    Would anyone be able to tell me what the size of the stock fret wire on the American Series Strats (and Teles too, I would assume) is? I've only heard Fender refer to it as medium, but I have never seen the heigtht and width dimensions written down anywhere.

    Thanks,

    I think it is .095 X .040 (going from memory). Fretwire varies a little as it is extruded thru a die and dies wear, thus the variance in raw wire. Plus, it could have been worn or leveled excessively affecting height. Finished boards, maple, can be tough to get accurate width measurements on.

    Might be .095 X .045 maximum. I've never seen a stock MIA with a height over .045.
