Pantera x 300 fret wire

Two Pantera's, same year but with different fret wire. Neither have been refretted.

That's odd eh?
Whatcha reckon...supply problem, or a custom buildl?

It's impossible to tell from the photo's what the difference is in the fretwire. Assuming that one looks wider than the other to you, have you taken a Vernier Calliper and measured the width of them on both guitars to see if there is a difference? You may find that one set of frets have been re-dressed which would give them the illusion of being wider. It's just a thought.

Martin. :bball:

Its obvious to me from the photos!
Havent thought about it before but whats the playabilty / feel difference Westblown?

Yes, it's obvious to me too from the photo's... one Pantera has fretwire and so has the other one! Is one set of frets wider than the other? Come on Westblown give us a result of a proper test.

No they havn't been 'stoned'. You want to look at the ends umpdillyv500.
The white one measured .080. The red one .118. The red one is now in the hands on a proud owner on this site.
Prefer the white, thinner one's.

Anyone ever played a 6 string fretless guitar not a bass??

That would make me even more confused than trying to figure out the control settings on my Spectrum GT!
'Twould be very shmooth, but there would be a lot of "sliding" notes methinks. "It's there, somewhere!"

No but I had to see what one sounded like. This is pretty cool:

That sounds like a slide and a duck on steroids.
Sounds amazing, nothing to do with the guys playing mind!! Excellent.
I'd love to have a go. Must take some 'feel' though.
Talk about fretless wonder type neck

I'm completely weirded out now...
