Mark:

I understand you've been tied up, so I hesitate to ask again, however...

Do you know what the fingerboard radius of a '75 Model 430 would be, and the proper fret size?

I have been told the frets are .078 x .041, or StewMac #147/Dunlop 6230...is that correct??

Thanx for your help

In theory they were 10" radius.

To have a repair shop refret it as close as they can without using factory fretwire...Dunlop 6230 or 6190.There is also a wire that Stew/Mac carries and that Luthier Mercantile carries that is similar .Any of them will work .
