Whether they will work on a 12" radius is up to you. As with many things, it is a heated debate. Some luthiers say it is fine, perhaps even ideal, to over-radius the frets prior to install. Supposedly, helps keep the pressure downward on the fret ends, reducing pop-up. Still, other luthiers will say that is completely wrong, and you should only ever install wire that is perfectly radiused to the board. You'll have to decide where you stand on that debate to determine whether or not these will work for you.
Prices are always based on cost. If straight wire costs more, it is priced higher.
