Peaked Frets

[Findthetone1]

I'm debating on having a 24 3/4"conversion neck made from Warmoth for my Strat. The frets will definitely be SS. The have "peaked" fret that I have never seen before
Has anybody ever tried these?

Nope.

Peaked frets will give you a bit better intonation, but they have a faster more triangulated shape, which some say isn't as comfortable, while others say it is far better. Traditional frets are more rounded which feels better and smoother to me, but it is often said that the intonation isn't as good. The Peaked frets also wear a bit quicker I believe.

Those are the "heavy" frets offered by Anderson and Suhr.

Thanks for the rundown. I appreciate it!

Like someone said above Anderson use them. I have them on my Anderson, feel pretty much like a 57110 Jescar (6100 ish size) to me, but with a narrower top (obviously). They're nice IME and I typically go for jumbos.

I'm pretty sure this is the "heavy" frets on my Anderson Pro Am.

I like them. I'd say it's a wash between them an 57110SS frets.

I'll probably end up going with 6105s if I have them install the frets. They are not as tall as I'd like but the 2 luthiers here have both told me 6100 would probably crowd a 24 3/4" fretboard.
