Stainless Steel Frets

The only stainless steel frets I have seen are SS rods in Chapman sticks
and Busley matrices (stick like doubleneck on a stand). The Gittler
guitar also used stainless steel rods. I suspect that the reason
stainless steel fret stock is unavailable is that luthiers don't want to
have to do fret mills with carbide bits.

BTW, visit this beautifully done microtonal site
