So 12 years ago I ordered a Warmoth neck with, I believe, what are stainless steel 6105 frets. It's been so long, but I recall they didn't have the 6150's back in 2002 when I ordered the new neck from Warmoth.
I just received a new neck for a different guitar and it has stainless steel 6150s. I love the way my fender with Warmoth ss6105's feels, and after consulting with a sales guy at Warmoth, I ordered the 6150s on this neck, because he said they have the same height as the 6105's, but there wider which gives it a slicker feel when moving up and down the fretboard. Apparently, these have the same height; however, after much research on the Internet I found that other fret wire manufacturers have different dimensions for 6105's and 6150s.
So I'm a bit confused as to what I just put on my guitar?! ...I don't have calipers, btw, and about to have a small freak out.
For example: Dunlop 6105 has a height of .55. The Warmoth 6105's have a height of .47. The warm-up 6150 also have a height of .47.
So according to Warmoth website, I should have a neck with 6105s and a neck with 6150s, and each should have a fret height of .47 correct?
If the above is correct, what will the wider 6105's feel like in comparison to the 6150s? Or is Warmoth's dimensions on their site incorrect??
I am trying to determine if I screwed up and got the wrong size fret wire on a brand-new neck that cost me nearly $600. Any shared experiences thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
