almost done getting all parts i need for my new LP
just one last thing which is fretwire
i want to have the stainless steel fretwire on this one (shame they don't do binding)
but i wanted to ask which fretwire is closest to gibson's fretless wonder ?
the SS6230 ?
 
I would think it would be the 6130. The 6230 is probably more like the tiny frets on an old strat - or MIM version. I have an LP with 6130's on it and it's not quite like my old Gibson V which had flat frets - but it's probably the closest to it. I don't think Warmoth offers frets like the fretless wonder type. I don't think it's a popular option these days. I did love the frets on my V. But the thing was once I didn't play it a lot, I had a lot of trouble getting used to it again. Tough to do bends.
 
so which is the best for playability,speed,chorusing ?
i don't like the 6105 much, i want flatter frets, but from the Stainless steel ones, not nickel ones, wanna try something new
