Huge Frets!
Graham George 16.04.2015
Thanks once again to Thomann for great service and quality packing. A box of goodies arrived safely in the post - Germany to Spain in just 4 days from day of ordering to delivery at the door!

The 6000 is the Dunlop monster fret rightly described in the description above.
I've got them on another guitar, which I wanted a lot of flexibility to fret level without losing too much of the fret wire height. These are just ideal for a project like that.

Both chunky and high, they are a dream to play. For bending, the height of these frets sets the string high enough above the fretboard for your fingers to push the string from slightly below/under - thus avoiding contact of the string on the fretboard.
Bending becomes effortless with high frets - another reason I like this product!

My previous project was also a flat fingerboard, so these unbent frets are perfect!

If you're installing them as curved frets, they're easily bent to shape but strong enough to give a lot of wear too!

For added safety I drop a tiny drop of epoxy resin, (you could use super glue), at the ends.

Big frets!
Marcus6774 23.07.2014
These frets are so big (and tall) that it's almost like playing on a scalloped fretboard.

Relatively easy to install these with just a plastic/rubber hammer and some super glue. Although, it would have been even more easy if they were not pre-cut, because they have to be bent to the correct radius to fit your fretboard. That can be tricky without professional fret bending tools, but after a few tries I managed to bend them with just my fingers. No significant issues there.

Fret leveling was a breeze since there's so much material to work with.

Die fetten Bünde Dunlop 6000
BurkhardH 08.03.2013
Mit der Qualität war ich nicht zufrieden.
Die Walzform des Herstellers hätte mal gewechselt werden müssen. Über die gesamte Länge der Stäbe war eine Riefe und ein Grat entstanden. Das ist eigentlich Ausschußware und hätte nicht in den Handel gehört.
Für eine ältere Konzertgitarre waren die noch brauchbar, nicht jedoch für das angedachte teure Intrument.
Zudem waren die Bünde durchgehend nicht gerade sondern in leichter Wellenform auf und ab. Das macht dann noch zusätzliche Arbeit beim Richten.
Die nachbestellten Dunlop 6105 waren ganz ok, allerdings begannen auch hier schon die Kanten zu verrunden und die Anker waren nicht mehr so scharfkantig.
Für die nächste neubundierung suche ich mir einen anderen Hersteller der Bünde.
