Location: Brisbane Australia		Can someone tell me if the frets on the Breadwinners, Vipers etc with ebony finger board were glued or just pressed in at the factory?

Thanks

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		As far as I know the frets are pressed in, not glued. I also believe that the frets are "proprietary" as in... you won't find fret wire anywhere else that's exactly the same.

Mauvis Beal may have some additional or more accurate info.

Location: Brisbane Australia		Thanks Miles,

My luthier asked the question.

I've had a couple with some loose frets.

Location: 6 String Ranch		At first they were just pressed but later on they were probably glued in, like all the production.
