Wechter Scherhorn

Since Wechter Scheerhorn import resos were introduced a few years ago I've been receiving inquiries from resoists who either already owned or were planning to purchase one, but desired having raised metal frets instead of inlaid maple strips.  This has mostly been a matter of preferred appearance, however for some it was considered a necessity in order to quickly and accurately install a capo that relies on contact with a raised fret for accurate positioning (i.e. Martin Gross or Shubb).  In addition, some resoists with extensive playing time on resos both with inlaid fretlines and raised frets have stated that they find it easier playing with accurate intonation on a reso having raised metal frets... particularly in dimly-lit situations.
