Hey guys, i'm working very close to the team making my signature guitar, going thru every single detail on the construction, and yesterday we got to the frets, my two guitars have jumbo frets and i feel them normal, that's the normal fret for my, but this very experienced luthier is telling me to go with medium frets for my les paul, that he knows that they transmit the vibrations much better into the body.
What's your experience with that? what do you like? --------------------  Check my Instructor Profile Rockers! Got a Blog too!, www.adriantracks.com Follow me on facebook and youtube! -Youtube   |

No idea.
Probably there are theories and laws of physics on the matter but I wouldn't spend too much thought on how it vibrates into the wood. If it feels good that's more important. And frankly, I don't really feel any difference. Good luck with the guitar!

Hmm not sure man, I will change frets on my Strat soon, and I'll go for jumbo. The truth is - any fret size will take some time adjusting, and once that's done - it's all the same.

Jumbo on the Ibanez, and I guess medium on the les paul
It's true what Ivan says, it's not really a big deal probably -------------------- Visit my:

I've tried couple of strats with jumbo frets before and I liked the bulkiness. I hope it will turn out OK.

I also enjoy jumbo frets because of the way they feel, i have no idea about medium ones, though when I play on a friend's les paul, I always remark that the frets are medium

Only jumbo for me. Medium is a step backwards.
