  • Charvel Standard/Fret size?

    I have done a seach here but I could not find a difinitve answer. I think it is 6100 . I am ordering a Musikraft Charvel neck and would like to know for sure.
    Anybody?

    6100 is the Dunlop equivalent of Charvel/Jackson's "jumbo" frets. it is not the exact same fret wire but as close as you can get from most aftermarket neck manufacturers.

      +1 and Musikraft will do a good job for you.

          6150s are thinner than the standard jumbo jackson/charvel frets. dreamland rebel is correct that 6100s will get you as close as you can get.

            Oops...I went with 6150's because they don't feel quite like train tracks to me. I posted my Musikraft specs just to show what options I had selected when I bought mine. That's why I posted the Model 2 specs first. Damn my confusing ass.

              Dunlop 6000 is the size. Musikraft has that size as an option.

                6000 is the biggest fretwire Dunlop makes (for guitars). It's pretty gigantic. Here are the dimensions of most of what they make:

                Not sure if the Model Series wire size is exactly the same as what the USA guitars use(d), but mine all seem pretty close. Going by that, the closest match is 6110. Model Series wire was .114" x .051", and 6110 is .115" x .050", just a bit wider & not quite as tall as 6100 (.110" x .055"). We're just talking about a few thousandths here, so 6100 is gonna be damn close.

                  agreed, and after a fret level, the 6100s can be worked down a bit.

                    I have a guitar with 6000s on it (awesome frets) - and it's definitely not the same size as Jackson's jumbo frets, there's a very noticeable difference.
