Hi,
I'm trying to get info on the best fret wire size for a 12 string electric guitar neck. Maybe "best" is a matter of opinion, but what are the factors that make one size a good choice.
Thanks
 
I was scratching my head trying to figure out what would be different from a 6 string. The only thing I can think I wouldn't do is super tall jumbo. 12 strings are already difficult to keep in tune, add grip issues are exacerbated, plus the unison's and octaves are easier to hear dissonance. So other than superjumbo wire just go with what you normally like
 
yo avocabro, you prolly arent gonna be doing much bending on a 12-strang so might i politely recommend considering  something small? peeps 'round here seem to say you're less likely to make notes go outta tune.
 
I Echo Rob - go with something small and low profile - then it will be less likely to go out of tune when playing it.  Something that's very noticeable with a 12string.
