Product Description
Dunlop 9775H Heavy Fretwire is a jumbo-style nickel silver fret set designed for players who want tall, wide frets that make every note feel effortless. Measuring 2.79mm wide and 1.40mm high, each 60.9cm length is ideal for heavy duty refrets where grip, sustain and smooth bending are top priority.
Whether you are rebuilding a hard working stage guitar or upgrading a favourite instrument, this heavy fretwire delivers a solid, confident feel under the fingers. The extra height and width give you more control over vibrato and bends, while the classic nickel silver formula keeps the tone familiar, articulate and musical.
Compared to more vintage fret sizes, Dunlop 9775H offers a noticeably more substantial playing surface. That means less finger contact with the fingerboard itself and more contact with the fret, which can help reduce friction and make fast runs, wide bends and expressive vibrato feel easier and more consistent. If you like the feel of jumbo frets, this wire is built for you.
Each piece comes in a convenient 60.9cm length, giving you plenty of material for a typical guitar refret, depending on the instrument and layout. Luthiers and hobby builders alike can rely on Dunlop's precise dimensions and consistent quality, making it a dependable choice for repeatable, professional results.
Jumbo Feel, Maximum Control
With a 2.79mm width and 1.40mm height, this heavy fretwire delivers the chunky, jumbo style feel many modern players prefer. The extra mass under your fingertips gives you more leverage for bends and vibrato, helping you dig in without fretting out or feeling cramped on the board.
Smooth Bending and Vibrato
The tall profile means your strings sit higher off the fingerboard, so your fingertips make more contact with the fret than the wood. This reduces drag and makes it easier to execute wide bends, subtle vibrato and fast slides with a smooth, controlled feel across the neck.
Reliable Nickel Silver Construction
Made from standard nickel silver, Dunlop 9775H fretwire offers the familiar balance of brightness, warmth and clarity that players expect. It is a proven material used on countless instruments, providing a consistent response that suits everything from clean chord work to high gain lead playing.
Convenient 60.9cm Length
Each pack includes a 60.9cm (24 inch) length of fretwire, giving you a practical amount of material for refretting a typical guitar. The single continuous length allows you to cut each fret to size as needed, helping you minimise waste and work efficiently on custom or standard layouts.
