EVO Gold Fretwire Replacement for Taylor 414 CE
Hi all,
I am planning to do a re-fret of my Taylor 414CE and have heard a lot of good thing about EVO Fretwire and planning to use this on my Taylor. I was looking for this in LMII http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/thirdpro...ader=+Fretwire but cannot decide which one is going to fit on my Taylor. Have anyone in TGF done this and which type should fit Taylor Guitar. Thanks for the help.

No I won't.
A local luthier is going to do it for me. just that he doesn't have EVO fretwire. That's why planning to buy it from LMII and have it installed.

I had it done to my BTO... Me likes
What I did was I called Taylor and asked to speak with someone in the service dept, one who refrets guitars. I spoke with a man there who was some sort of supervisor. I asked them what they used on their re-fret jobs. He gave me a part# of Dunlop frets. I then took that # and looked up its specs on the internet. Then I found the evo wire that had very close specs to the Dunlop. I ordered that wire and brought the wire and guitar to my luthier and "Wallah"..... Jescar Gold evo frets on my baby.

You probably will need the FWSS74......I want to refret my guitar later with evo gold . (on my grand audition model like yours) I wondering how many feet you would need to do a whole guitar.
would 4 feet even be enough? I might call and ask...... how much is your luthier charging you?

I don't know what my luthier would have charged, since we traded..I fixed his heater, he did the fret job..., but I would assume two to three C notes.

Had a refret on my 410CE last year for $330 which included the fret wire. Not sure what the wire runs but I imagine it was a small percentage of the overall cost.

I just did fret levelling on my Taylor but the fret still appear worn. as i am asking the luthier to build my first custom and I need good fret wire anyway, i' am thinking of buying the fretwire at the same time for my taylor to save postage. it think evo gold and Jescar is the same fretwire. i might be wrong though.
