6150-6105 HotRod Frets...

Prior to using Warmoth Necks I did my own fret work and at times installed wide 6150 frets to the 15th fret and used narrow 6105 wire for the remaining frets. Fingers glide easier over wider 6150 frets while the narrower 6105 wire provides needed space between close frets. Warmoth offers both 6150 and 6105 SS wire advertised @ .047" height; fret height has to be exact. I would like to see this old trick of the trade available as an option to improve playability.

Another suggestion is an optional compound profile neck: A Boat Neck Profile that transitions into a FatBack Profile would make a good playing neck. A profile gauge shows a FatBack has enough meat on it to make the above conversion. If suggestions don't fly in a reasonable amount of time I'll compound profile a FatBack and HotRod the frets and post DIY photos.

In the meantime here's some builds from days gone by...
