Where can I find info on differences between fret sizes. Couldn't find it on the website - tech area. Interested in difference between heavy/medium/low rise SS frets in terms of width and height. Thanks in advance for any help.
H=.108w x .051T
m=.090w x .055t
lr=.104w x .047t
all in inches.

Thanks a million!! I always thought the heavy frets were the biggest in height and width, and felt my low rise didn't seem that different, and it turns out thats true! Pretty much same width, just taller with heavies. So the mediums are thinner and taller than others, which might work out great for my next TAG (thinking short drop top) which will be used for more high gain stuff/tapping/etc. Sweet.
i think in the end after they're dressed the mediums don't really feel taller than the heavies, but because they're narrower they don't feel quite as big when you're slide your hand up the neck. the low rise are just a little shorter, just enough so i can feel the fingerboard on my fingertips so that i don't feel like i'm playing a cheese slicer.
