Are the included frets stainless steel?

Yeah still loving mine also, so much so that you forget it’s there, no down side whatsoever!

As for the 4 supplied frets being stainless steel, from memory I believe they are.

I like mine so much that I am using one of the the leftover frets that came with the zero glide set I used for the Ric bass to hand craft one for my Guild Starfire Bass from an extra Starfire nut I have. Too bad Zero Glide doesn't make one for a 1.5" nut size that would work for the Starfire.

From the website:
"The nickel silver frets used in the Zero Glide system are much harder than a standard fret. Over a long period of time there is very little wear. In fact, Brian May with Queen said the zero fret on his iconic guitar, the Red Special, lasted 10 years before changing."

However, they do sell separate stainless replacement frets on their website.
