Tone comparison between Nickel/Silver and Stainless Steel frets. **To skip straight to the sound clips, jump to 2:49.**
Both necks have identical specs *and* were cut from the exact same piece of Maple. The neck specs are: Maple shaft and fretboard, Vintage/Modern construction, Standard Thin back profile, 1-11/16" nut width, 22 frets. For the test, they are both bolted to same body, and recorded on subsequent days.
