The is the
part of the fret that comes
into contact with the strings
at the top of the fret.
The is the bottom of
the fret wire that is set into
the fret board.

protrusions that stick out of
the fret tang to hold the fret wire in the fret slot.
Not all guitars have the same size fret wire. Different sized in the fret
wire will result in different sounds. This leaves it up to the player to
decide what kind of sound they would like to get out of their guitar.
