I believe you can purchase them through martin still. I don't think they list them on their site. You have to contact them. They were nickel too. Here is another place that sells them. Expensive though..Mike

Can you pinpoint exactly where the bar fret wire is?

As I recall, Martin sold off it's stock of bar fretwire to a third party (TJ Thompson?) a few years ago and he is the only ready source now
It was nickel based not steel
