Getting a refret on my '65 D-40 - wondering what people think about the fretwire size, which isn't something I've thought about before. The guitar tech is using StewMac fretwire, and suggested #0152 (Medium/Higher) size, but said that #0148 (Medium/Medium) would be closer to the original. Any thoughts on the difference? Will the larger size look strange on it? My instinct is to go with what's closer to the original, but wonder what the potential benefits of the higher fretwire could be- for example, the tech said they'll last longer as there's more to level in the future, and I've read that taller frets affect tone, etc. Thanks!
