I was of the onion that jumbo frets were necessary for my playing style, till I recently discovered I also like small frets too.
I now realaze now that radius is the most important thing, and Im selling some necks of mine to get necks that are 12" radius, as that seems to be the magic radius where full bending is facilitated, which is of primary importance to me.
Small frets play really fast, and I like that btu I'm not sure yet they can everything the bigger frets do as far as some kinds of action like pull offs and stuff, so I'm not sure , but I doubt really small frets are the way to go yet.
maybe you can't expect one fret size to be best at everything, IDK.
As far as radius, Definitely 12" or possibly a 10-12 compound seems like the best radius , although a flatter radius is preferable on a guitar like my Jackson with the big frets.
In general a 12" like Gibson seems to do most types of stuff the best, especially chording up the neck and fast blues rock style leads. Not positive.
Thoughts on this?
