Project Guitar Help Centre: Fret Sizes
One of the common questions we get asked here is about the different fret size options. So, we've decided it's best to show here exactly what each fret size is and how the compare.
We use Jim Dunlop frets here in our workshop (we've found them to be the highest quality available) and it's worth mentioning that the sizes quoted below can vary slightly from batch-to-batch but never by any noticeable amount.
| Number | Dimensions (h x w) | Description |
| 6230 | 0.08" x 0.043" (2mm x 1.1mm) |
"Vintage fretwire" - often found on the older Fenders |
| 6130 | 0.106" x 0.036" (2.7mm x 0.9mm) |
The "medium jumbo". Commonly found on Gibsons |
| 6150 | 0.103" x 0.046" (2.6mm x 1.2mm) |
The true "jumbo" - approximately the same width as the 6130, but taller |
| 6105 | 0.096" x 0.047" (2.4mm x 1.2mm) |
Tall and Narrow. Our most popular fret size |
| 6100 | 0.112" x 0.055" (2.8mm x 1.4mm) |
The biggest frets commonly available - as good as a scalloped feel |
