I think I'm gonna have my '68 F-112 re-fretted. Has anybody here had a re-fret done on a 12 string? What size/kind or frets did you use?

Thanks, gilded

I had mine done with EVO gold frets for durability. I don’t remember the size, but I’ll measure them tonight.

You can use any size frets you prefer, the string only contacts at the crown. It’s just what you like.

Chris, I get you. The issue for me is whether a double course of strings might feel better with a certain size of frets. You know, width, height. The crowning of said frets, I will leave to my luthier.

The original frets are on the guitar and they don't feel too good to me. I think they could be dressed, but it would be the last time. I think I'd rather start with new frets.
