As there was quite a lot of talk of re-frets, had my Strat back from its re-fret with Evo Gold wire!
The gold doesn't show up that well in the picture...

I don't know exaclty what kind of gold wire has been used, but I have a guitar with gold.ish frets. (Supreme'07)
They say they are 30% more resistent than normal.
What I can say is the guitar is really smooh to play. I Mean really easy and fast to bend strings ti the right pitch.
It could also be due to the ebony fretboard but the Custom is not such smooth as this one.
PS I ve tried Optima Glod-plated string on this one..just for fun to match the gold frets. They are good strings.. but a bit too much expensive (18€/pack)

After all the fret talk, I decided no more mid priced guitars. $0-100 or $1500-2500 for me. Stainless frets only.
So I started looking at newer guitar manufacturers like Kiesel. It seems like they only offer stainless or gold frets. I was taken back by the gold option. Gold? Why would you get gold frets?
There must be something to it though, not just a gimmick. Pretty cool to hear first hand experience with them.
If I were to get a decent guitar it would be Tim Henson Ibanez or a custom Kiesel (below). Kiesel has a nice custom tool on their website.

They aren't gold as such but Jescar EVO Gold. It is a best of both worlds option. Hard like Stainless but doesn't destroy tools the way stainless does. I refretted one on mine with EVO Gold last year. The stuff is bloody hard !! They did file OK with regular triangle files though which stainless wouldn't do.

you may consider a Suhr? Stainless frets and fantastic. Just a thought

I have 3 guitars with EVO gold ( that's what I had fitted to the Squier Strat above - the re-fret is probably worth more than the guitar!) and they are great. Never played stainless...
