Torn on a Gibson LP

There are a bunch of them that come with medium jumbo’s, not huge but not really tiny either. If you look at sweetwaters site they usually list fret size if it’s not the standard stuff. A bunch of them that come with Grover’s have med jumbos. If it’s a model that’s trying to be all old school it will have the tiny ones. I don’t care for those either

They claim medium jumbos... but I have a 94 SG Standard here that has been leveled at least a few times and the frets are bigger than on the ones I grab off the wall at my local shop... so YMMV.

Yeah, 60’s , 50’s they both have the same frets. Struggling to see how Gibson thinks they’re a good choice going out the door. You could barely play aggressively, sitting at home but the second you’re on a stage, moving and getting sweaty too, you’ll be screwed.
 
I wonder how much of the current fret situation with Gibson is the Plek machine taking a lot of meat off?
