        Heh heh. Thanks. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
        Weird that I can't find this info anywhere online. I have found a few sparse references to "Medium Jumbo," etc., but I can't find specific wire numbers anywhere. I'm trying to spec out a Warmoth neck so it feels like my Jacksons.

          6150

          go to www.warmoth.com and look at fret sizes and you will see that most C/J's use the 6150.

            I have a Warmoth neck with stainless 6105 frets and it's super. I have another one on the way.

            The 6105s are as tall as the 6150s but thinner. It feels a lot faster than the 6150s, and I've always liked the 6150s.

              Cool. Thanks for the posts, guys! I sincerely appreciate it.

              I'm thinking of getting a rosewood neck, with an ebony fretboard. I like the looks of maple/maple, but the rosewood/ebony requires no finish, which would feel great and also drop the price closer to maple/maple. I'd like stainless frets, but I doubt my local guitar tech would want to deal with them if they need to be leveled, etc. I'm getting a Wizard profile, too. Love those thin necks!

                I thought they were 6100s.That is what my SL1 has in it.(I measured them with a set of calipers)My Charvels are also the same size.

                  what frets does a dk2 neck have and how do those compare?
