That is pretty interesting that he thinks EVO is as hard as Stainless and lasts as long. I will talk to the fret doctor and see how he avoids that issue but have no idea why you would put different kinds of fretwire on the same guitar besides being cheap.

If the evo is easy on the tools how the hell can it be as hard wearing as the ss? It sounds impossible. I don't have any experience with it.

Properties of materials? To some extent, materials can be chosen and or treated to exhibit certain traits.

While he only has seat of the pants experience - its more than I have. I don't think EVO not as hard as stainless, but hard enough to exhibit some some or most of the benefits of stainless (long wear).

I've heard of the idea of installing stainless on the 1st few frets on acoustic guitars - its a way of avoiding wear issues in that area, Not so much being cheap. I've always been told that its all in the prep work. Better prep work and better materials = less leveling.

The point here is now I see why some people might not like stainless. Probably not the only reason, but to each his own. It would not stop me.

I will try that evo stuff myself soon. I have this other build that's almost up to the fretting stage.
