Bronco fretwire type

I'm dropping my bronco into a guitar shop tomorrow for a full refret as the frets are knackered - does anyone know what type were originally fitted to broncos?

Vintage Fenders used 6230 fret wire, 6105 is just a smidge taller and may be a nice change in feel however. ymmv

very pleased.

What sort of money did you spend on that?
My Epiphone's frets are pretty low, but is just about playable, so could do with a refret.
If I don't sell it I might try a refret myself.
I think the veneer board and the value of a Bronco would scare me off attempting attempting that as a first refret though.
