Hi Guys

I've got a Martin (D-15m) with a dud 1st fret (someone filed part of it down for whatever reason), rather than level the entire thing I'm just going to replace the fret, anyone have an idea what fret wire Martin uses? (also, anyone have any spare?)

Cheers

More hope of a response if you could.
