Fried O......did I miss where you told us the size of fret-wire you went with on the re-fret? Perhaps historically accurate size of fret-wire?

I'm guessing that Gibson would have used bigger fret-wire on the few Flying Vs they made in 1959 vs. those made in 1958.

100x50, slightly dressed down a bit.

Not certain on what they used in 1958 or in 1959. These appeared to be the original later/larger 1959 frets that were removed from my V. :salude
