Anyone know the best place to get pre-bent fret wire in fairly short lengths? (2ft-4ft)
Thanks

I want to add that the wire is cut off rolls to a length you specify. I have found that the curve of the wire is right for a 12 - 16" radius fret board. I bought a roll of it from Allen Guitars.

Finn: LMI sells it's fret wire rolled. One piece is more then enough for a fret job.
