My latest YouTube video is a follow-up to a 2021 YouTube short which illustrated strings pinging in and out of grooves worn into the zero fret of my Burns Brian May Red Special guitar.
I discuss the various factors which cause and exacerbate this issue then in the second part, I remove and replace the zero fret with Jescar FW57110 stainless steel fret wire. The crown is 2.8 mm wide and 1.45 mm high which is a good match to the jumbo 3 mm size fitted to this Burns Special.
You can find out more about the upgrades I carried out to this guitar in the project section:
