    Default Highway 1 fret size

    Anyone know the exact measurements of the “medium jumbo” frets found on Highway 1 strats?

    Nope, but they seem to be the same as American Series frets, so maybe you can track it down that way. Check the TDPRI and FDP, as some of the folks there seem very detail-oriented to put it politely.

    Just thought I'd share what I've found so far... Gibson Studio LPs (like mine) and Fender Stratocaster Highway 1 models both come with what the companies are calling "medium jumbo" frets. Trouble is, the frets are no where near the same.

    It took some digging, but so far the consensus is that Dunlop 6130 is closest to Gibson's medium jumbo, while the 6150 is closest to Fender's medium jumbo.

    I can find very little information about frets on either manufacturer's website.
