Fret Size Preferences?
I'm just curious as to what everyone prefers fret size wise. I prefer frets the wider and taller the better, preferably a 6100. So how do you like your frets?

Somewhat wide but not tall on electrics - .045" x .100"
Medium on acoustics

im assuming you mean the space between fret wires. thats hard to answer, depends on your lead style i'd say. like i guess i like both wide and narrow interdependently. or perhaps like cubby said, i would be a medium guy. but if you like doing legato and pull offs and stuff, narrow is good so you dont have to reach far and stretch your hand over a long distance. but for me, wide is also good because i have stubby italian fingers haha. therefore playing high up on the neck is charging for me. so, yea i'll go with medium
a happy medium is always the best for anything, thats my theory. |

Whatever size X-Jumbo or Jumbo is. I like to be able to feel where I am on the fretboard, and it's really the only way I can tell.
And for New001, he means the size of the fret wire, not the distance between frets. Though said distance is important.

My ideals are in the extremes: Give me tiny vintage-Fender style frets or gigantic fretwire w/ scalloped boards.
